AI Contracting Clinic 2026

As AI continues to grow in importance, this clinic dives beneath the buzzwords to show what is actually working in practice so you can stay sharp, informed, and ready for the future. Contract and commercial management teams are wrestling with fragmented processes, repetitive manual work, and limited insight into contractual risk and performance, all of which erode value at scale.

Across the series you will see live use cases, customer journeys, and case studies that move beyond theory to demonstrable business impact in areas like risk, productivity, and visibility. Each clinic brings together a focused group of practitioners, solution providers, and thought leaders who are serious about solving real contracting problems with AI.
