We’re not in an era of change. We’re in a change of era.
Tariffs and trade wars hit with a speed and scale no one anticipated, upending global value chains and threatening entire business models. Great power politics is back with a vengeance, challenging free-trade presumptions as nations race to strike bilateral deals. The ground is shifting fast, elevating procurement and supply chain leaders to the very center of the c-suite.
All while agentic AI is transforming the function itself, automating sourcing, pricing, contracting, risk, and decision-making at a pace never seen before.
Join us at GEP INNOVATE 2025 as we cut through the hype, confront the realities and chart a path through this new world (dis)order.

Venue
INTERCONTINENTAL NEW ORLEANS
There’s no place like New Orleans and no better setting for bold thinking, big conversations and a little indulgence. GEP INNOVATE 2025 takes place at the InterContinental New Orleans, just steps from the French Quarter, Bourbon Street and Canal Street. You’ll be immersed in the city’s music, food and culture with easy access to the best of downtown.
No trip to New Orleans is complete without a memorable meal—or two. We’re hosting exclusive experiences at two iconic restaurants: Antoine’s and Galerie de Galatoire. Antoine’s, birthplace of oysters Rockefeller, offers 180 years of culinary history in storied rooms that have hosted presidents and film legends. A few blocks away on Royal Street, Galerie de Galatoire blends elegant interiors with timeless New Orleans flavors, offering an unforgettable fine dining experience in the heart of the French Quarter.
