# AAPSCM Advances AI Procurement in Dallas

AAPSCM’s 2026 summit in Dallas addressed AI applications in procurement and supply chains, resilience, logistics, responsible technology adoption, and workforce development. The organization announced its next conferences for Riyadh on April 6–7, 2027, and Dallas on October 25–26, 2027. These are networking and knowledge-sharing events, not government solicitations or contract awards, but they offer procurement professionals and industry stakeholders opportunities to exchange practices on applying AI and strengthening supply-chain operations.

- Procurement teams and contractors can use the conferences to discuss responsible AI adoption, supply-chain resilience, and logistics practices with international and industry peers.
- The announced events provide opportunities for networking and workforce-development exchange; the signal identifies no procurement requirements, contract values, or proposal deadlines.
- AAPSCM’s stated focus on measurable industry impact and international partnerships may be relevant to organizations assessing AI use in sourcing and supply-chain functions.
