From Ping Pong Tables to the Boardroom: We're Coming to NYC

I have a lot of history in the Meatpacking District.

In the early days of growing out Procurement Leaders in the US, The Standard was our spot. I distinctly remember the ping pong matches with procurement friends underneath the High Line—the energy was electric, and the conversations were real.

That's exactly why we picked The Standard, High Line for the North American debut of Buyers x Builders on April 15, 2026.

This Isn't Just Another Conference

We're bringing the same blueprint that made our London event such a success:

• •The Builders: Founders building the new workflows and infrastructure of the future
• •The Buyers: Senior Procurement Execs looking for what's coming "around the corner"
• •The Rule: Strictly Chatham House Rules. "The value stays in the room."

We aren't looking at legacy solutions. We are looking at a different world—and we need a venue that matches that ambition.

The Standard, High Line

Great views. Honest conversations. No noise.

There's something special about this place. The rooftop views of the Hudson. The energy of the Meatpacking District. The memories of those early ping pong matches that helped build real relationships in procurement.

It felt right to bring Buyers x Builders here.
