Procurement is entering one of the most volatile and strategically important periods in decades.

From escalating geopolitical tensions and the implications of the Iran conflict, to inflationary pressures and supply chain instability, procurement leaders are being forced to rethink how they manage cost, risk, suppliers, and stakeholder expectations.

In this fast-paced and highly practical session, Graham Crawshaw explores the major hot topics shaping procurement in 2026, including:

•        The commercial and supply chain impact of Middle East instability

•        Rising energy, logistics, and supplier costs

•        The implications for indirect procurement teams

The session combines market insight, procurement community data from CASME, and real-world observations to help procurement professionals understand what is changing, where the biggest risks are emerging, and what actions organizations should already be taking. Live polls will tease out the views of delegates.
