6 answeredGEP INNOVATE 2026 took place October 21–23, 2026.
The conference was held at the New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square, New York City.
GEP INNOVATE was built for CPOs, procurement leaders, supply chain executives, and professionals driving transformation across industries.
The pass covered all keynotes, sessions, roundtables, and networking events, including the welcome reception on October 21 and the offsite dinner on October 22.
It was most useful for CPOs and procurement and supply chain executives who wanted peer case studies, since the sessions were billed as featuring company leaders' transformation stories and speakers were scheduled to include Alexander Stenzel, Procurement Director at Mercedes-Benz, alongside GEP's own leadership. Practitioners seeking hands-on technical training would have gotten less, and since the organizer is a procurement software vendor, buyers should have expected a program with a strong GEP perspective; the celebrity keynotes from Eli Manning and Nikki Haley were scheduled as general leadership talks rather than procurement content.
Procurement and supply chain executives at corporate conferences in New York usually wear business casual to business professional during the day, with smart attire for the offsite dinner at Carmine's Times Square and the rooftop welcome reception.
