LONGEVITY IN PROCUREMENT

Beszerzői Bár • The largest gathering of procurement professionals in Hungary

2026.11.05 & 10

What to Expect

Fuel yourself with a year’s worth of inspiration and motivation!

The Purchasing Bar is the year’s biggest community and professional gathering for purchasers.
A day where we don’t just talk for the sake of it. We think together. We shape the future of the profession together.

We’ve designed the program so that this year, too, you’ll go home not just with notes, but with new perspectives and renewed energy.

In Focus

Longevity in Procurement

Longevity: living a long life in health

We are convinced that this concept, borrowed from the field of conscious living, offers a new perspective for interpreting the most pressing issues facing our profession.

After all, who wouldn’t want to work in a system that functions well over the long term, is sufficiently flexible, yet remains resilient enough to withstand negative influences? Where the “well-being” of the company, the procurement organization, procurement professionals, and strategic partners is equally in focus.

Our plan is to examine the profession’s most important trends and solutions this year by applying this perspective.

Here’s what last year’s event looked like…

Beszerzői Bár 7.0 on a video 🙂

At the seventh Beszerzői Bár, more than 270 participants attended, marking the largest gathering of Hungarian procurement decision-makers ever. This incredible interest is a great honour, but also a huge professional responsibility! But that’s what we love!

The theme of our 2025 meeting was “The Awakening of Procurement,” because we felt that a system update was needed. It’s not enough to simply survive change. We must wake up — through strategic thinking, collaboration, and genuine knowledge sharing. The world is accelerating, and the future of procurement depends on who dares to rethink its role.

And that was before…

Video summaries of 4 unforgettable events with their fantastic audiences are available. Dive in and soak up the atmosphere of the 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Beszerzői Bár events.

The secret of truly honest conversations

Non-standard formats

On this day, participants will experience that they are not alone—best practices are accessible, and cooperation can solve almost any challenge. The event’s strength lies in its unique dramaturgical elements, which foster exceptional honesty and openness. This allows procurement decision-makers from diverse fields to come together at the same table and engage in meaningful dialogue.

Unique procurement meeting

What makes it special?

Selected community

The Beszerzői Bár is a private event and is by pre-registration only. We’ll be talking about the most topical and pressing issues in procurement without taboos.

Quality connectivity

We take care to ensure that the presence of our sponsors is an added value, not a burden.

Bullshit-free, deep technical content

Each of our guests can engage in in-depth discussions with procurement decision-makers from other companies on two selected topics. World Cafe discussions take place at 15 tables. The previous four Procurement Bars have sold out, so you’ll want to reserve your seat early so you don’t just get on the waiting list!

The goal is not to leave the same way you arrived

We want you to look at yourself differently when the Buyers’ Bar closes. Be motivated, optimistic and confident! Because never before has a procurement professional been under so much pressure.

People at the centre

We’ll make sure you have a good time. With delicious and healthy food, drinks and inspiring show elements, we’ll make sure you feel GOOD, so you can really immerse yourself in the business and recharge your batteries.

Everyone who matters in the procurement profession in Hungary will be there!
