AI Agents in Finance & Procurement Roundtable — What to Expect
Navan is convening a private roundtable in London in 2026 for senior finance and procurement professionals to debate the practical impacts of AI agents on spend management, automation and compliance. The session will prioritize real-world use cases, risk mitigation and governance frameworks that procurement and finance teams must adopt to avoid costly mistakes and to capture measurable value.
Why this matters now
AI agents—software that autonomously executes tasks—are moving from pilots to production across finance functions. That shift brings outsized benefits, but also heightened regulatory scrutiny, control failures and supplier risks. This roundtable aims to help leaders separate hype from actionable strategy and leave with concrete next steps to protect budgets while accelerating automation.
Who should attend
- Heads of Procurement and Sourcing
- Chief Financial Officers and Finance Directors
- Procurement operations and automation leads
- Compliance, risk and audit professionals overseeing spend
Agenda highlights
- Shortcase presentations: successful AI agent implementations and measurable ROI
- Governance workshop: controls, audit trails and vendor oversight for autonomous agents
- Risk roundtable: compliance pitfalls, data leakage, and how to reduce exposure
- Practical frameworks: phased deployment, escalation paths, and cross-functional ownership
- Peer networking: benchmarking approaches and proven playbooks
What attendees will take away
Participants should expect peer-validated guidance on where AI agents deliver the most reliable savings, which automation patterns to avoid, and how to set up guardrails that satisfy auditors and stakeholders. The emphasis will be on immediate, implementable actions rather than theoretical debate.
Logistics & registration
The event is private and by invitation; seats are intentionally limited to encourage candid discussion among senior leaders. If you represent a finance or procurement function and believe your organization should participate, contact the event host (Navan) to inquire about availability. No public social media embeds or YouTube videos were provided with the event listing.
As AI agents reshape procurement and finance workflows, missing conversations like this risks falling behind peers who are already building safe, auditable automation paths. This roundtable promises direct guidance from practitioners and a chance to confirm your strategy against real-world outcomes.
