# What does AI-first procurement actually look like day-to-day?

In this webinar, you'll see the shift first-hand through International Paper's pilot of Sievo MCP, which brings live spend data into the AI tools their teams already use. We'll walk through real use cases concretely: what each one does, what it replaced, and what it delivered.

You'll leave knowing what to ask of your team, your vendors, and your data before your next AI investment.

**What you'll learn:**

*   **What AI-first procurement looks like day-to-day:** Grounded in real procurement data, shown through International Paper's Sievo MCP pilot & ChainIQ's workflows
*   **A repeatable path to value:** How leaders get from initial AI business case to delivered results
*   **How to build the data foundation your AI actually needs**: What needs to change to get data an AI agent can act on
*   **Where AI wins and where it doesn't:** Honest lessons from live deployments, including what deliberately stays human in the loop and why

**Your speakers:**

*   **Aaron Clark, Procurement Innovation Director at International Paper,** shares what the Sievo MCP pilot looks like in daily use: conversational spend answers within the tools his teams already work in, and what adoption looked like in practice.
*   **Travis Johnson, Market Head Americas at ChainIQ,** walks through the methodology ChainIQ uses to accelerate AI implementation across their Source to Order processes and their "Better Together" philosophy.
*   **Heta Pirttijärvi, SVP Product at Sievo,** shows what lies beneath: the AI-ready data layer that makes the difference between agents you can trust and those that make bad data worse.

**Who should attend:**

*   Procurement professionals at all stages of AI adoption, from beginners to more advanced practitioners
*   Procurement Executives, Transformation, Innovation, and Analytics leaders who want to stay ahead of what the digital transformation roadmap should look like
*   Procurement and Finance professionals evaluating the future role of procurement technology in the AI era
