Coupa today announced it is embarking on a global “REAL AI @Work Roadshow” series with presenting partner Boston Consulting Group (BCG), inviting business leaders to move beyond AI vision and hype; each event will feature real-world customers and case studies that deliver tangible AI-driven business outcomes in a multi-city tour across four countries and seven cities.
Today’s business leaders face increasing pressure to adopt AI, integrate it effectively, and demonstrate measurable returns fast. While AI has become standard for many leaders, data from BCG’s annual AI at Work global survey indicates that only 36% of employees feel properly trained on AI, but that with proper training, employees’ confidence in AI is significantly improved, as is the quality of AI-enabled work outputs.
Coupa’s REAL AI @Work Roadshow will showcase examples of how Coupa’s unified AI platform helps companies de-risk top suppliers, quickly identify autonomous sourcing opportunities and savings, and automate invoice processing and contract management reviews. The event will take a “how-to” practical approach so attendees can identify additional cost savings and risk reduction opportunities and potential efficiency and workforce productivity gains to drive dramatic business outcomes and results.
“Coupa is using AI to drive significant savings and efficiencies across customers’ procurement, finance, and IT teams, including at companies like Uber, Clorox, CBRE, and Fivetran,” said Tricia Miller, SVP Product Marketing at Coupa. “This event is designed for executives looking to accelerate their AI journey with Coupa’s leading total spend management platform. The entire agenda is designed to answer how to get started accelerating AI adoption and maturity throughout your company leveraging the latest AI agents. We invite the entire Coupa Community to join us in a city near you!”
The REAL AI @Work Roadshow includes stops in seven global business hubs, including:
- San Francisco: September 12 at Oracle Park
- Chicago: October 8 at 360 CHICAGO
- London: October 16 at Royal Society of Arts
- Frankfurt: October 30 at “Arena of IoT” Lab at Deutsche Bank Park
- Amsterdam: November 11 at Pillows Hotel Maurits at the Park
- New York City: November 12 at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt
- Dallas: December 3 at Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa
“The journey from AI selection, to adoption, to impact is about how people embrace new ways of working and adapt their behaviors to unlock value. As AI use and adoption grows, companies need to commit appropriate levels of investment, time, and leadership support to training and upskilling employee skills. This is particularly important for companies that are looking to reshape or redesign their end-to-end workflows, where capability-building and process optimization need to work hand-in-hand with practical AI value generation and thoughtful experimentation,” said Tyler Vigen, Managing Director and Partner at BCG.
Sessions will cover strategies for accelerating time-to-value with AI, from experimental projects to measurable returns, and fostering automation, workforce transformation, and process acceleration. Attendees will:
- Learn how to fast-track AI strategy and drive adoption for real ROI gains in total spend management
- Hear compelling customer stories demonstrating the returns on investment from AI for their companies – including Dennis Fay, VP Strategic Sourcing at NFI Industries in New York and Micah Garrison, VP, Supply Chain Management at Patterson-UTI in Dallas – in each city
- Experience live demonstrations of Coupa’s latest AI solutions, including Coupa Navi™, SpendGuard, and Contract Intelligence
