Concurrent Session - Operational Excellence Through Procure-to-Pay Transformation
This session explores the implementation of a procure-to-pay (P2P) solution within a higher education environment and the operational transformation that followed. Attendees will gain practical insights into aligning people, processes, and technology to improve efficiency, strengthen compliance, enhance the user experience, and support data-informed decision-making. The presentation will highlight key implementation strategies, stakeholder engagement approaches, lessons learned, and opportunities for continuous improvement that institutions can apply within their own procurement and financial operations.

Concurrent Session - Strategic Sourcing in Practice: Creating Systems to Manage Programs, Suppliers, Commodities, and Partnerships
Structured systems and evaluation methods help procurement teams assess programs and suppliers by current state, strategic fit, differentiators, risks, and value drivers. This provides commodity managers and leadership with clearer visibility into the supplier pool, campus department programs, and purchasing needs. In a complex and dynamic environment, systems and measures make the work more manageable by creating clarity, improving decision-making, and helping procurement focus strategic attention where it matters most.

Concurrent Session - Beyond the Transaction: Transforming Supplier Business Reviews into Strategic Partnerships
Many higher education institutions struggle to move supplier management past basic transactional oversight. In this session, the UC San Diego procurement team will share how they revolutionized their supplier relationship management (SRM) by transforming routine meetings into highly collaborative, strategic partnerships. We will demonstrate how we utilize a specialized Tableau dashboard to provide major agreement suppliers with unprecedented transparency sharing granular insights into their campus spend, financial unit breakdowns, and competitive market share data. Furthermore, we will showcase how we integrate campus-wide user satisfaction surveys, qualitative researcher feedback, and quarterly operational reviews (monitoring open invoices and backorders) to drive accountability. Finally, attendees will learn how to leverage this data-rich foundation to pivot conversations away from raw numbers and toward high-value, collaborative initiatives, such as campus lunch-and-learns, sustainability goals, student learning opportunities, and small business engagement.

Concurrent Session - How Responsible Purchasing Drives Institutional Efficiency and Cost Savings
Stanford University launched its Responsible Purchasing program in Procurement Services in 2024. The program includes 3 distinct pillars that complement one another: spend management, supplier inclusion, and sustainability. Together these pillars contribute to operational excellence at Stanford by driving cost savings, supply chain resilience, risk mitigation, and administrative simplification, as well as contributing to the university s climate, sustainability, and community goals. In this session, Responsible Purchasing Program staff will describe a sampling of the initiatives offered by the Responsible Program, such as robust reuse strategies to avoid purchasing new, staff training programs, embedding responsible purchasing into procurement platforms, and introducing new tools to identify small, local and sustainable suppliers. The session will focus on how those initiatives have led to institutional efficiency and cost savings in addition to upholding the university s environmental and community values.

Concurrent Session - From Transactions to Partnerships: Expanding Small Business Impact
Delivering on small business goals requires higher education procurement teams to shift from transactional purchasing to strategic relationship building. This session will explore the buyer journey behind successful small business initiatives and how procurement can take a more strategic approach by leveraging purchasing trends and stakeholder needs to identify opportunities, strengthen supplier relationships, build stakeholder support, and develop tailored sourcing strategies. Through real-world examples and success stories, attendees will gain insight into how collaboration among procurement, suppliers, and stakeholders can increase small business spend, create efficiencies across the purchasing process, and drive meaningful outcomes that support long-term growth.

Concurrent Session - Future-Proofing Procurement: Operating Models, Talent, and the Next Evolution of Higher Ed Procurement
Higher education procurement is entering a new operating era. Static staffing, rising transaction volume, increasing compliance complexity, expanding technology expectations, and the rapid emergence of AI are forcing procurement organizations to rethink how work gets done. This session will explore the operating model shift from procurement as a production and compliance function to procurement as an advisory, orchestration, and institutional value function. Participants will examine how procurement leaders can redesign workflows, clarify roles, leverage automation and AI responsibly, and build more resilient organizations without simply asking teams to do more with less. The discussion will also focus on career future-proofing. As routine production work becomes increasingly automated or system-enabled, procurement professionals will need to develop new capabilities in business advising, data interpretation, supplier strategy, technology fluency, risk navigation, and change leadership. The session will offer practical framing for leaders who are trying to modernize their organizations while helping their teams see opportunity rather than threat.
