10:30 AM Panel - Reverse Q & A: Global Scale, Local Impact: Governing MRO & Facilities Suppliers Worldwide To Reduce Complexity And Strengthen Supply Continuity

In this room, the expertise doesn't just sit on the stage. Managing MRO and facilities suppliers across regions is one of the most complex challenges in procurement right now — and everyone in this session is dealing with some version of it. In this reverse Q&A format, the panelists put the questions to you. They'll draw on the collective intelligence in the room to surface real approaches, pressure-test assumptions, and build a richer picture of how organizations at different scales are navigating global supplier complexity, tariff volatility, and supply continuity risk. 


How it works: Panelists open with brief context from their own organizations, then direct questions to the audience to tap into shared experiences. The conversation builds as peers respond, challenge, and add nuance — with the panelists synthesizing and reacting in real time. 

Key Takeaways

    • Leave with peer-sourced strategies for managing supplier complexity across regions — not just theory, but what's actually working 
    • Understand how organizations at different scales are approaching supply continuity when global conditions shift fast 
    • Hear candid takes on where global standardization helps — and where local flexibility is non-negotiable
