PRGXchange 2025 Agenda
Why PRGXchange™?
Diverse Industries:
Last year, we welcomed leaders from a range of industries, including Tech (17%), Manufacturing & CPG (23%), Retail (34%), and more.
Global Reach:
Attendees came from Canada, Europe, Latin America and the United States.
Senior Leadership Presence:
A substantial 98% of our attendees were Senior Management in Finance and Procurement.
Driving Strategy
Finance, Procurement and Shared Services are the beating heart of organizations, with the unique ability to see the big picture across departments and the critical details within the supply chain. Because these functions drive key strategic decisions that have a broad impact across the company, S2P leaders must have the data intelligence to optimize processes, relationships and margins.
Creating Value
PRGXchange™ brings together S2P leaders from across industries to inspire exciting new ideas and solutions to their most pressing challenges across finance, procurement, and supply chain management. In addition to best-practice guidance from your peers, the event offers new ways to identify actionable insights in your data that improve the health of the entire company.
Giving Back
During PRGXchange, Finance and Procurement leaders in attendance have the opportunity to “give back” to a worthy, local charity supporting the community in the city the conference is hosted.
We appreciate your interest in PRGXchange. Please note that PRGXchange is a conference for PRGX clients and potential buyers of PRGX solutions. Conference attendance is not open to other solution providers or consultants.
PRGX reserves the right to decline a registration.
