Graphite Connect Joins the 10th R&D Procurement & Sourcing in Pharma Summit

Graphite Connect, the supplier management platform trusted by procurement teams across industries, will exhibit at the 10th R&D Procurement & Sourcing in Pharma Summit, taking place June 2-4, 2026 in Boston, MA.

The annual summit, now in its tenth year, brings together 80-plus procurement and sourcing leaders from pharma, biotech, and CRO organizations including GSK, Bayer, Regeneron, Roche, Takeda, AbbVie, and more. This year's agenda centers on elevating supplier relationships, integrating AI and orchestration tools in procurement workflows, and building the kind of agile, data-driven operating models that keep clinical development timelines on track.

Graphite's presence at the summit reflects the company's growing footprint in pharma and biotech, where bad supplier data isn't just an operational headache — it's a compliance risk and a pipeline bottleneck. The platform's patented supplier network gives procurement quality, and compliance teams a single validated source of truth, eliminating the manual reconciliation and document-chasing that slow down GxP-critical vendor approvals. Automated risk assessments, AI-driven validations, and sanctions screening keep supplier records current and audit-ready without adding headcount.

Attendees visiting the Graphtie booth can expect a live look at how the platform cuts supplier onboarding time by up to 85%, enables proactive third-party risk management aligned with FDA and EU MDR requirements, and surfaces performance gaps before they become supply chain disruptions — all through a network approach so distinct it earned a U.S. patent.

Graphite's 176-country supplier coverage makes it well-suited for the complex global sourcing environments pharma procurement teams navigate everyday, including the CRO and CMO partnership models that are central to this year's summit agenda.
