BARCELONA, Spain – October 27, 2026 – Supply chain executives from some of the world’s best-known brands have gathered in Barcelona at Kinexions EMEA 2026 to share how they plan and run supply chains through sustained regulatory, trade and economic change. Hosted by Kinaxis® (TSX:KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain planning and operational orchestration, the three-day event brings together customer-led sessions, product showcases and hands-on training.

Registrations more than doubled for this year’s event, and partner participation nearly tripled, as supply chain leaders across the region look for practical ways to turn AI and orchestration into tangible business outcomes. 

Customers speaking at the event include Bosch, Castrol, Coca-Cola Al Ahlia Beverages, Jabil, the LEGO Group, Moët Hennessy, MSD, Prysmian, Sanofi, and Weidmueller. Sessions include how Sanofi and MSD are moving toward more intelligent, autonomous planning in pharmaceuticals, how Jabil turned demand forecasting into a measurable financial lever, and how Bosch is modernizing shop floor scheduling. Leaders from Castrol, the LEGO Group and Prysmian also join Kinaxis President of Commercial Operations Mark Morgan on the mainstage to discuss how organizations move from transformation to faster decisions. 

“Supply chain leaders across the region are being asked to respond to change faster than ever, and they want to learn from peers facing similar challenges – that's what Kinexions has become,” said Fabienne Cetre, Executive Vice President EMEA, Kinaxis. “Seeing our community reach record levels of participation this year, with more than 600 customers and partners coming together, shows how much momentum there is across the region for a more connected way of planning and acting.”

Participating partners Genpact (Diamond), Accenture (Platinum), EY, Capgemini and neos by Argon & Co (Gold), as well as 4flow, Bluecrux, Bristlecone, CAI Planet Together, Infosys, mse e2e solutions and BearingPoint, are supporting customers as they implement and scale Kinaxis across the region.

“Our clients are looking for ways to turn planning decisions into coordinated execution across their operations, and that takes the right platform and the right expertise working together,” said Dr. Steffen Blunck, Vice President Supply Chain Planning, Genpact. “Kinexions brings the people doing that work into one room, and we’re proud to support Kinaxis and its customers in Barcelona.” 

In his opening keynote, Kinaxis CEO Razat Gaurav highlighted how supply chain leaders can move faster from signals to decisions and from decisions to coordinated actions across people, systems and partners. 

“Europe isn’t standing still. It’s reimagining what comes next,” said Gaurav. “The challenge for supply chain leaders is no longer seeing change; it’s how quickly the whole organization can act on it together – that decision latency is what Kinaxis is built to solve. AI can help, but only when it understands the physics of the supply chain: the materials, parts, lead times, capacity constraints, interdependencies and trade-offs that determine what’s possible.” 

Gaurav also outlined how Kinaxis’ Maestro™ platform combines supply chain planning and optimization with AI, and how Kinaxis works alongside customers through forward deployed engineering to address specific business problems. 

The three-day program includes product showcases of Maestro capabilities, hands-on bootcamps and the Women in Supply Chain breakfast. A replay of selected keynote content will be available on Kinexions and LinkedIn.
