As I pen this final foreword of 2025, I wanted to say thanks to everyone for the last 12 months. This has been my first full year in the role and what an incredible 365 days it has been – travelling around the world for both our events, as well as being kindly invited to cover some of the biggest shows in procurement. I have procured more air miles than ever before, from San Francisco and Chicago, to Amsterdam and London. It has been a blessing to be in the rooms where it happens and meet all the humans in the loop.

Now lets put our OOO on and recharge, as I am sure 2026 will be another jam-packed year.
