Taking place February 27 – March 1, 2023 in San Diego, CA at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel, this year’s event will bring together hundreds of visionaries from some of the world’s top brands and enterprises to share the latest trends, tools, and advancements in the rapidly evolving procure-to-pay landscape.

“As someone with a long-standing passion for procurement and the new ideas that drive this industry into the future, ProcureCon has always been synonymous in my mind with the brightest and boldest community in our field — a place where like-minded P2P leaders can get together, share solutions, and activate real progress,” said Shaz Khan, CEO and co-founder at Vroozi. “To be given the opportunity to open this year’s West Coast event as the Chair of Day 1 is a tremendous honor, and I am very much looking forward to facilitating important discussions that will spark meaningful innovation and inspiration, especially in the midst of so much global change and fiscal uncertainty.”
Known for being “interactive, peer-led, fun” and ahead of the curve in identifying industry trends, ProcureCon events give thousands of P2P practitioners the tools and strategies they need to become expert strategic sourcing and procurement executives. With 11 events in North America, ProcureCon’s portfolio covers solutions and pain points across all industry verticals.

Other notable speakers for this year’s ProcureCon Indirect West event include procurement executives and spokespeople from ExxonMobil, Uber, DoorDash, IBM, Upstart, Lemonade, MassMutual, the Kellogg Company, and many more.

In this highly-regarded role, Khan will lead a series of presentations, panels, and expert fireside chats on the Main Stage, including: “CPO Of The Future: The Evolution Of The CPO Role Through Today & Beyond” and “It’s The 21st Century, Let’s Start Acting Like it – Driving Success In Your Digital Transformation Journey.”
Khan will be joined onstage by Purvee Kondal (VP of Strategic Sourcing at Sephora), Brian Tarble (VP of Product at Tealbook), Steve Wilson (VP/CPO at FICO), Susie Lopes (Director of Product Management at American Express Global Business Travel), Mark Zafra (Head of Source to Pay at LiveRamp), Patrick McConville (VP of Business Development at Certa), Eric Curnow (VP of Global Sourcing & Real Estate at Sophos), and Tripp Cates (AVP of Development at CoreTrust) to discuss the current state of procurement, finance, and IT — especially in the context of widespread AI and machine learning advancements at both the consumer and business level.
