Unimarket Announces NOW 2026: Premier Customer Event Returns Bigger Than Ever

CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Unimarket, a trusted provider of purpose-built source-to-pay (S2P) and spend management solutions, today announced Unimarket NOW 2026, the company's premier customer and user conference, will take place April 20–22, 2026 at Hotel Contessa on the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas.

Held every two years, Unimarket NOW brings together procurement, finance, and supplier leaders from across higher education to explore what's next for source-to-pay, share best practices, and collaborate on the future of spend management.

This year's event will be Unimarket's most ambitious yet — expanded to a full three-day format to give attendees deeper insight, more hands-on learning, and more opportunities to connect with peers, Unimarket executives, product teams, and strategic suppliers.

"Unimarket NOW 2026 will be the largest gathering of the Unimarket community to date," said Phil Kenney, CEO at Unimarket. "We've expanded the event to help our customers think more strategically about source-to-pay — and get even more value from their investment in our platform. We're incredibly excited to host our community in one of the most iconic destinations in the U.S."

Unimarket NOW 2026 Highlights Include:

• A first look at Unimarket's product roadmap, including the company's evolving AI vision and how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of procurement, supplier engagement, and spend optimization
• Breakout sessions and panels led by higher education finance and procurement leaders
• Guided workshops focused on maximizing value and performance with Unimarket's full source-to-pay suite
• Dedicated opportunities to provide feedback directly to Unimarket's product development team
• High-value supplier networking, peer collaboration, and thought leadership discussions

Unimarket NOW 2026  will take place at the Hotel Contessa, an all-suite luxury hotel set on San Antonio's iconic Riverwalk — just steps away from all conference sessions, networking events, and the city's annual Fiesta celebrations. The event is open to all Unimarket customers and registered suppliers.
