ProcureTEX is more than a one-off gathering - it's a launchpad for a community that emphasizes:
ProcureTEX 2026 will take place in October 2026 in Europe. The exact date and city will be announced soon.
Tickets can only be purchased on the event website. We are anticipating a sell-out event and as such, would not recommend waiting until the day to book your place. We strongly advise registering in advance.
You can find our Terms & Conditions linked here. Please reach out to events@procuretex.com with any questions or concerns.
This is just the beginning. You can join our mailing list, follow us on LinkedIn, and be the first to hear about future meetups, agenda drops, and ways to connect with fellow practitioners. Keep an eye on your inbox for updates after the event.
