What is Zycus Experience?

Zycus Experience has been conceived as an “experiential” platform for thinkers and practitioners in the field of Spend Management. A place where procurement professionals can breathe in fresh perspectives on the subject and contribute to the development of a new future for Spend Management. A place where the teachers learn and the learners, well, teach. The Zycus Experience thought leadership platform believes that if you are a practitioner of Spend Management - you can contribute to the wider body of knowledge and experience, that is forming the future of Spend Management.

Why a tour and what cities are covered?

In one word - Convenience. The Zycus Experience Tour 2010 brings this unique thought leadership platform to a convenient location near you in the form of day long events! Covering 9 cities, the tour began in Mumbai, India in February, before making its way to Amsterdam and Oslo in March. The tour will then visit London on the 28th of April before commencing the extensive US-leg of the tour where 5 cities, from coast-to-coast, will be covered.
The following cities are covered in the tour so far. (This list is subject to change as more cities are added based on demand.)

  • 28th April - London (Registrations Open. Read Agenda.)
  • 3rd May - New York (Registrations Open. Read Agenda.)
  • 5th May - Atlanta (Registrations Open. Read Agenda.)
  • 7th May - Chicago (Registrations Open. Read Agenda.)
  • 11th May - Houston (Registrations Open. Read Agenda.)
  • 13th May - Los Angeles (Registrations Open. Read Agenda.)
  • May (date TBD) - Paris

The Agenda. What does one of these events look like?


All of these are day events, which start just before noon, to allow out of town participants to come in by their preferred means of transport. The events will end by 6 PM, after which there will be a Networking party.

Staying true to the name, each event is designed around the Spend Management Experience. The agenda will consist of keynote sessions, best practice sharing sessions, interactive audience discussions and expert panels. Each segment of the agenda (whether a keynote or a panel) will be in one of the following categories:

Straight to the Bottomline

Real Spend Management practitioners will share real experiences and best practices. Representing some of the top-performing global organizations, the presenters will provide insight which the audience can take back with them. Companies like Philips, Draka, Orkla ASA, Reed Elsevier, Iron Mountain and others will be sharing their experiences in these sessions. (Please look at the agenda for a particular city to find out who is speaking at that event)

Back to the Future
Eminent Analysts, Academicians and Industry Observers will look into the crystal ball and tell you what they see. As a participant at one of these events, you will get a sneak peek into the future so that you can be prepared for the changing challenges and benchmarks in the field of procurement technology.

Pushing the Envelope
Spend Visibility does not stop at Visibility. It is a portal into greater savings through integration with other tools and processes. Similarly the efficacy of every component of Spend Management can be increased through integration with other solutions and with each other. As a participant in one of these speaking sessions, you will carry back with you insight which will enable you to maximize your Spend Management ROI OR prepare a business case for an upgrade.

Walk The Talk

These will be sessions where Zycus experts will demonstrate to the audience a futuristic Spend Management experience.
