Webinar Details

Supplier diversity programs are evolving. The ones leading it know something the rest don’t: what best-in-class actually looks like, how far they are from it, and what it takes to get there.

On September 30, Supplier.io is sharing what the 2025 benchmark data reveals,  which programs are pulling ahead, what they have in common, and the roadmap to best-in-class for programs ready to make that move.

You will leave with a clear picture of where the leaders are, what is driving the gap, and how to use that data to make the case for more budget, more executive support, and a stronger program.

What you’ll learn

See what best-in-class supplier inclusion programs look like

What practitioners across your industry are experiencing heading into 2026 — from the State of Supplier Diversity report
Where the best programs are and how far ahead they have pulled from the average
How to turn benchmark data into a business case your leadership will act on
What the leading programs have in common and what it actually takes to close the gap
Who should watch?
Built for supplier diversity, supplier intelligence, sourcing and procurement leaders
  • A supplier diversity leader setting goals for 2026 and looking for credible data to anchor them
  • A program manager who needs to show leadership what “good” looks like — and prove you are getting there
  • A procurement or sourcing leader whose team is being asked to do more with supplier diversity and wants a clear benchmark to work from
  • Anyone who has ever had to defend their program’s performance without real peer data to back it up
Why watch this webinar?
The bar for supplier inclusion programs has never been higher.

Budgets are tighter. And most programs are still setting goals based on gut feel or association surveys that were not built for this moment.

This session changes that.

For the first time, Supplier.io is sharing what $3.4 trillion in verified supplier spend reveals about the programs that are pulling ahead — what they have in common, how far they have gone, and what the ones still catching up are missing.

You will leave with a benchmark, a framework, and a roadmap. Not a deck full of someone else’s numbers, a clear picture of where the leaders are and exactly what it takes to join them.
