Nohrcon’s AI & Public Procurement Summit 2025 is the premier event for procurement professionals looking to harness the power of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is redefining public procurement, bringing both exciting opportunities and complex challenges. We’re gathering Europe’s sharpest minds in procurement and AI in the iconic city of Paris to share knowledge, tackle challenges, and inspire innovation.
Get hands-on with the groundbreaking EU AI Act. In this workshop, you’ll explore how this legislation impacts procurement across sectors, including risk-based contracting, enforcement mechanisms, and technical standards. Interactive lectures and real-world examples ensure you leave with a practical understanding of the AI Act’s implications for your work.
Over two intensive days, delve into the unique challenges of procuring AI technologies and implementing them effectively. From best practices in IT procurement to real-life case studies, you’ll gain the tools to navigate AI’s risks and reap its benefits. A focus on organizational strategies ensures your procurement processes are future-proofed.
The conference day is your chance to engage with thought leaders and practitioners in an interactive environment. With panels, case studies, expert presentations and interactive sessions, you’ll leave with actionable insights into AI’s role in public procurement and strategies to overcome challenges.
With our flexible program, you can tailor your summit journey to your specific needs. Choose between workshops, the conference day, or both—and craft the schedule that aligns with your professional goals. Whether you join for one day or all four, the summit is designed to equip you with practical knowledge and tools to bring back to your organization.
The AI & Public Procurement Summit 2025 is of interest to all purchasers from the public and utility sectors, their suppliers, consultants and lawyers, who wish to be up to date artificial intelligence within public procurement law.
