About the Event

 

 

This month the IFPSM Member Spotlight leaves the studio. Episode 3 is broadcast live from the opening morning of the IFPSM World Summit 2026 in Akosombo, Ghana, hosted jointly by CISCM (Chartered Institute of Supply Chain Management, Ghana) and CIPSMN (Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Management, Nigeria).

If you could not travel to Ghana, this is your seat in the room. You will hear from the hosts, get the key message of the Summit as it opens, and join the conversation with IFPSM leaders on site.

Once a month, an IFPSM member organization opens its doors. They introduce themselves, share what they know best, and invite you into a real conversation. This time the doors open onto the largest gathering of the global procurement community this year.

IFPSM is:

  • 44 member organizations across 4 continents
  • Over 250,000 registered procurement professionals
  • The leading international body for procurement, supply chain, operations and logistics
  • A non-profit, built by professionals for professionals

All sessions are conducted in English, fully recorded, and available with live translation via the Zoom Webinar app.

Registration is open. Seats are limited.

Please note the meeting time: 09:00 Ghana (UTC+0), which is 09:00 UTC

Who is it intended for?

For everyone who understands that global procurement doesn’t wait.

Procurement and supply chain managers who want to see how Africa is positioning itself in global value chains, directly from the people leading that effort.

CEOs and senior executives looking for partners and suppliers in West Africa, one of the fastest-moving sourcing regions today.

Suppliers and service providers who want exposure to a global audience of decision-makers.

Every procurement professional who could not be in Akosombo and still wants to be part of the Summit.

Why is it important?

The World Summit is the one week a year when the IFPSM community meets in one place. Until now, members who could not travel missed it entirely.
This live session opens the Summit to the whole network for the first time.

Africa is reshaping its trade structure, moving from import dependency toward intra-African trade and value-added exports. Procurement professionals everywhere will feel the effect on sourcing, pricing and supplier options. This session gives you that picture first-hand.

Please note the meeting time: 09:00 Ghana (UTC+0), which is 09:30 UTC.
