9:10 AM ProcureCon Partner Keynote: Agents With Agency: Building An AI Workforce Procurement Can Trust

In the last year, AI has rapidly evolved from understanding procurement work, to actually performing it. From redlining contracts against your playbooks to negotiating tail spend and coordinating requests end-to-end, your autonomous AI workforce is here. But how can you trust AI to execute high-stakes workflows? AI agents are only an asset if governed by the same permissions, policies, and audit trail as your people. This session unpacks both halves of that equation. We'll see what real AI automation looks in practice and how leading enterprises like AmFam safely scale with Zip's governed AI platform for procurement.
