Join a dynamic and fast-paced session designed to ignite bold ideas,

shaping the future of American enterprise. The WISE Round Table Speed
Talk brings together trailblazing entrepreneurs, executives, and
change-makers for high-energy discussions that spark inspiration and
action.

Participants will gain game-changing strategies,
real-world insights, and practical tools to break barriers, scale their
ventures, and lead with purpose. This is more than a conversation—it’s a
catalyst for growth, connection, and lasting impact.

Chief Procurement Officer Forum

Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) play a vital role in shaping
resilient and efficient supply chains that are critical to meeting
today’s complex economic challenges and opportunities. As changes in
federal rules, regulations, and practices continue to impact both global
and domestic markets, the leadership of CPOs becomes even more
essential—especially for small- and medium-sized businesses seeking to
engage with larger enterprises as trusted suppliers.

In
today’s dynamic landscape—defined by geopolitical shifts, rapid
advancements in AI and cybersecurity, and evolving market
expectations—CPOs provide the strategic guidance that ensures businesses
at every level are aligned for success. For small- and medium-sized
businesses, this means understanding where the opportunities lie, and
how to effectively plug into supply chain ecosystems led by large
enterprises.

By following the money and positioning themselves
as agile, innovative, and reliable partners, SMBs can leverage these
connections to not only compete, but thrive. With the right insight and
alignment, they are prepared for what is required to sustain, grow, and
prosper—helping to shape how we work, conduct business, educate, learn,
innovate, and build safe and healthy communities.
