SAN FRANCISCO - TelAve -- Bid Ops and Marcus Evans are partnering to host Optimal: The AI Conference for Procurement Teams, a one-day virtual conference for procurement teams across different industries interested in learning about the benefits of AI. Optimal is scheduled for March 24, 2021, with a strong focus on education and professional development.

"There is a huge opportunity for modern procurement teams and their stakeholders to benefit from AI," said Edmund Zagorin, CEO at Bid Ops. "While collaborating with procurement teams at Bel Brands, BASF, UCB Biopharma, Dover Chemical, and Holman ARI, we found a widespread desire for practical examples, use cases, and playbooks focused on AI. That's why we decided to launch Optimal with a focus on case studies and professional development."
