European Procurement & Supply Chain Excellence Summit
The Flagship Procurement & Supply Chain Summit: Leading the way!
The organiser BME e.V. is Europe’s leading non-profit industry association for Supply Chain, Procurement & Logistic Professionals, uniting more than 10.000 company members and more than €1.25 trillion annual purchasing volume across all industries.
The Summit is designed as an invitation-only event with the major aim of providing a comprehensive networking platform for C-Level Procurement & Supply Chain Executives.
The previous year's summit in 2024 saw experts from 17 countries come together, emphasizing the importance of innovation and collaboration amidst change.
Expanding on the discussions and insights geathered, our aim is to delve deeper into the following key themes:
- Adaptability and Foresight: In light of the ever-evolving geopolitical landscape, organizations must maintain adaptability and forward-thinking in their procurement and supply chain strategies.
- Resilience & Agility: Emphasis will be placed on leveraging big data for informed decision-making and nurturing strong supplier relationships to ensure sustainable growth.
- End-to-End Cost Transformation: The integration of cost-saving measures with strategic value creation remains pivotal, driving organizational growth.
- AI Integration: There will be a focus on harnessing AI technologies to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness.
- Sustainability: Recognizing sustainability as a competitive advantage for long-term success, discussions will center on strategies to foster sustainable practices

„I participated as a speaker at the EP&SCE Frankfurt event on April 16, 2024, where I had the pleasure of engaging in insightful discussions with fellow speakers. It was fascinating to hear similar perspectives from diverse industries and companies. Moreover, the event provided an excellent opportunity to connect with peers navigating similar challenges within the supplier chain. I appreciated the chance to network and look forward to continuing these discussions beyond the event. ”
„This was my first BME event, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the event. From the organization, topicality of the chosen themes to the punctuality of all sessions, everything done with great professionalism and definitely, an event which enriched everyone who attended. I take the opportunity to thank BME for the invitation to participate in such great event, sharing my journey of transformation as CPO. ”
„An all-round successful event. Purchasing and supply chain management must run like a well-oiled gear. The organizers and every participant helped to ensure that the gears meshed seamlessly to open up new horizons of innovation and excellence.”
„I joined the BME event on 18th April 2023 in Frankfurt and was impressed with the quality of the presentations and panel discussions. The insights gained from listening to Procurement colleagues from other organisations will prove valuable as I navigate with my team through the challenges in FY 23. I would recommend the BME events and encourage participation as they present a good learning opportunity.”
