As digital transformation accelerates, artificial intelligence is reshaping procurement from an operational function into a strategic driver of business performance. Data analytics, predictive insights, supplier performance, risk management, and autonomous decision-making are becoming essential capabilities for modern procurement organizations.

Through this exclusive event, Vendorside welcomed industry leaders to exchange insights on how AI is transforming procurement processes, accelerating digital transformation, and redefining the future of enterprise procurement.

The event opened with a keynote presentation by Kerem Kızıltunç, Executive Vice President at Turkish Airlines, who shared his perspective on leadership and business transformation in the age of artificial intelligence. This was followed by a presentation from Mehmet Taha Doğruyol, Co-Founder and CEO of Vendorside, highlighting the importance of end-to-end digital procurement and the strategic opportunities enabled by AI.

The first panel featured Eyüp Özbay, Bülent Onat, Bilal Bedir, and Dr. Mehmet Sarıdoğan, who discussed the evolving role of procurement in global competition. The second panel brought together Nahit Yılmaz, Sena Emiroğlu, Erdal Nalbant, and Murat Erez to explore how artificial intelligence is creating strategic value across finance and information technology. Both sessions were moderated by Samet Ensar Sarı.

During the event, Mehmet Taha Doğruyol also presented "A New Intelligence Layer for Enterprise Processes: Autonomous Decisions and Predictive Insights with Vendorside AI," demonstrating how AI empowers organizations to make faster, smarter, and data-driven procurement decisions.

Throughout the event, keynote presentations, panel discussions, and networking sessions reinforced one clear message: artificial intelligence is no longer the future of procurement—it is already transforming procurement today. Organizations are increasingly positioning procurement not only as a cost management function, but as a strategic capability that drives growth, resilience, sustainability, and competitive advantage.
