"It's been for me 2 days of inspiration and networking: 10 insightful presentations covering relevant procurement topics, including GenAI and sustainability; 3 workshops with industry peers to benchmark procurement efforts and discuss the "art-of-possible"; great organisation and atmosphere by Sievo.

It was also amazing to meet good old friends and make new ones."

SievoFriends Participant 2024

"Just wrapped up an amazing two-day SievoFriends event! It was a fantastic, product-led experience where the whole Sievo team showcased their roadmap and vision.

Customers and partners had the chance to share their insights, ask questions, and discuss challenges in a friendly and professional atmosphere. The inspiring environment made it even better!"

SievoFriends Participant 2024

"It's been a month I joined #SievoFriends in Helsinki to learn first hand from other industry practitioners how procurement is driving impact through data and AI. I have worked with and followed Sievo for the last 8 years and it is great to see their steady growth to a leader in spend analytics."
