About 20 years ago, I delivered a keynote to 300 executives from the Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA). Note that they represented the supplier side interests.

The keynote was on the emergence of Reverse Auctions. Below is the actual video of the Q&A session at the end – about 30 minutes, but I think you will find it quite fascinating, especially given where we are today and in the context of recent comments.

I also think you will find the discussion on algorithms, AI learning and even diversity fascinating here in 2023.

Does my presentation on the future of algorithm-driven AI eProcurement technology in 2005 hold up in 2023? A personal sidenote – When I gave this keynote, I was 46 and had more hair – I was maybe even a bit taller 😉
