Procurement teams already shoulder immense pressure to deliver margin, resilience, and stronger supplier partnerships — and 2026 is only going to heighten those expectations. Fortunately, teams already have a powerful, often under-looked resource at their disposal: rebates. In this webinar, Supply Chain Now hosts Scott Luton and Marty Parker welcome rebate and procurement experts Mark Gilham from Enable and Keith Wright from K. Wright Consultancy to help you understand how rebates, incentive programs, and joint business planning can create alignment, unlock hidden value, and make your supplier relationships far more strategic. They will reveal what most procurement teams don’t know about rebates, the full spectrum of incentive programs available, and how these programs can transform suppliers and buyers into a unified go-to-market force. Join us to learn how organizations are leveraging AI to overcome traditional rebate management barriers, empowering suppliers to offer richer incentives — and giving procurement unprecedented visibility to ensure no money is left on the table.

The world is becoming more software-driven and while it’s helping accelerate innovation, it’s also increasing risk. Service providers, equipment manufacturers and the various suppliers in the information communications technology (ICT) industry are seeing a sharp rise in breaches and attacks through the infiltration of downstream suppliers of software as well as hardware, and professional services. However, a new process-based standard, SCS 9001, is in development by the members of TIA with the goal of helping businesses lock these attackers out. Due for release later in 2021, this new process-based standard is poised help companies and better protect their internal operations and identify verified trusted suppliers (and their suppliers’ suppliers) for network solutions. By certifying their internal operations and verifying trusted suppliers and products and services, life will soon be much harder and success far more expensive for the suspected nation-states and crime syndicates behind these devastating attacks. In addition, the standard will include a collection of security performance measurements for aggregation of anonymous benchmark results to help drive continual industry improvement. Join us as we discuss why this new industry standard is especially critical for new 5G and IoT networks that are aiming to connect everything from our coffee makers…
