Achilles is pleased to join the 15th annual PASA CPO Exchange Gold Coast as an Exchange Partner and event sponsor. The exclusive two-day event will bring together senior procurement leaders from across Australia and New Zealand for discussion, benchmarking and peer collaboration.
The 2026 CPO Exchange will examine how procurement functions can become more adaptable while responding to geopolitical volatility, economic uncertainty, emerging technologies, changing regulation and evolving stakeholder expectations.
What is the PASA CPO Exchange Gold Coast?
The PASA CPO Exchange Gold Coast is an invite-only retreat for Chief Procurement Officers and senior procurement leaders from across Australia and New Zealand.
Unlike a traditional procurement conference, the Exchange combines expert presentations with closed-door CPO roundtables, curated partner meetings and executive networking. The format is designed to encourage candid discussion, practical knowledge sharing and meaningful conversations between procurement leaders and selected Exchange Partners.
Meet Achilles, an Exchange Partner at the CPO Exchange
Procurement adaptability depends on having reliable information about suppliers and the risks that may affect business continuity, compliance and performance.
As an Exchange Partner and sponsor of the event, Achilles will meet with procurement leaders to discuss how organisations can establish a consistent and scalable approach to supplier risk management across complex third-party networks.
Meet the Achilles team to explore how your organisation can:
- Improve visibility across existing and prospective suppliers
- Assess financial, operational, ESG, cyber, health and safety, and geopolitical risks
- Validate supplier information, documentation and credentials
- Prioritise higher-risk and business-critical suppliers for further due diligence
- Use independent assessments and audits to investigate risks more thoroughly
- Continuously monitor supplier performance and changing risk exposure
- Strengthen procurement reporting with reliable and defensible information
Achilles combines technology, independently validated supplier data, risk intelligence and audit expertise to help procurement teams move from fragmented supplier checks towards a more consistent risk governance model.
