Future-Proofing Procurement: Nearshoring, onshoring, & supplier ecosystems

Global disruptions, rising input costs, and shifting geopolitical dynamics are putting traditional sourcing strategies to the test. For procurement leaders, the question is no longer if the model needs to evolve – but how. Increasingly, organizations are turning to nearshoring and onshoring as strategic levers to improve supply chain resilience, mitigate risk, and strengthen supplier relationships. But the move toward nearshoring isn’t just about location – it’s about rethinking procurement’s role in driving smarter, faster, and more responsive value chains.

In this insightful LinkedIn LIVE session, ProcureAbility’s Senior Director, Joe Adamski, and Art of Procurement’s Kelly Barner dive deep into how today’s procurement professionals can navigate the shifting landscape and make smarter, more sustainable sourcing decisions.

This expert-led discussion goes beyond theory to deliver real-world perspectives on how nearshoring is transforming procurement strategy. You’ll gain insights into:

• The critical differences between nearshoring, offshoring, and onshoring – and when to use each
• Key trade-offs in cost, lead time, transparency, and supply chain risk
• How leading companies are leveraging nearshoring to reduce dependency on long-distance suppliers and improve time-to-market
