Chapter Webinar

There is so much hype around the topic, it is the latest buzzword but what actually is Procurement doing about the opportunities and challenges AI presents. Graham Crawshaw, CASME’s Procurement Content Director will provide some insights gathered from hundreds of category managers across the CASME network.
