Vroozi to host AI procurement forum in Beverly Hills

Vroozi will bring aerospace and defense procurement leaders to Beverly Hills on Oct. 7 for an invitation-only forum focused on AI-powered sourcing, compliance and supplier management. The event comes after the company’s inclusion in The Hackett Group’s latest SolutionMap for eProcurement, procure-to-pay and AP automation.

Why it matters: - Aerospace and defense companies face heavy compliance and traceability demands while trying to move faster. - AI and agentic commerce are becoming part of how procurement teams source parts, manage suppliers and handle government requirements. - Southern California remains a major hub for aerospace and defense growth, with rising jobs and defense-tech investment adding pressure on procurement operations.

What happened: - Vroozi will host the Aerospace & Defense Tech Forum: The Future of AI-Powered Procurement on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at a rooftop venue in Beverly Hills. - The event is invitation-only and limited to procurement, finance and operations leaders at aerospace, defense, space and manufacturing companies. - The forum follows Vroozi’s inclusion in The Hackett Group® Fall 2026 SolutionMap for e-Procurement, Procure-to-Pay and AP Automation/Invoice-to-Pay. - The forum runs from 4 to 6:30 p.m. PT, followed by a reception and executive networking. - Attendance is limited, and Vroozi will review and confirm all requests.

The details: - Discussion will focus on how AI and agentic commerce are changing sourcing, supplier management and government compliance. - The broader program will examine the responsible use of AI and AI agents, including security and regulatory issues tied to sensitive government work. - A fireside chat will be moderated by Shaz Khan, Vroozi co-founder and CEO. - The featured guest will be a senior leader from a leading defense shipbuilder and Vroozi customer. - The session will explore how procurement and supply chain operations are being re-engineered to meet defense industry demands. - Vroozi says its SpendTech platform digitizes procurement and invoice management while orchestrating workflows to improve visibility, compliance and cost control. - The company also offers AI-powered spend management, marketplace and accounts payable automation for mid-market and enterprise organizations.

Between the lines: - Los Angeles County is drawing more aerospace and defense activity, which raises the stakes for tools that can handle scale and regulatory complexity. - A forum built around a customer conversation signals that Vroozi wants to position its platform as operationally ready for highly regulated industries, not just as a software demo. - The emphasis on responsible AI suggests buyers are still evaluating how automation fits alongside security and compliance requirements.

What's next: - Executives interested in attending can learn more and request a spot through Vroozi. - The forum is likely to give Vroozi a platform to showcase how AI-led procurement tools work in regulated, high-growth sectors. - As aerospace and defense procurement grows more complex, more attention is likely to shift to systems that can combine speed with auditability.

The bottom line: - Vroozi is using the Beverly Hills forum to target a fast-growing, compliance-heavy market where procurement speed and control have to coexist.
