Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

Leadership today is more demanding than ever. Especially when it comes to dealing confidently with rapid and far-reaching changes. Anyone who finds it difficult to adapt to new things will be all the more challenged to guide employees safely through change processes.
Self-management and socio-psychological skills are becoming increasingly important in a working world that is increasingly shaped by AI. Managers are faced with a central task: they must shape the use of AI in such a way that it is understood as support and as a technology that strengthens people, not replaces them. A decisive lever here is the design of psychological safety: only in a trusting working environment are people willing to accept new technologies and actively participate.

This session deals specifically with the following questions:

• What perspectives and behaviors do managers need in the digital age?
• What can be influenced by leadership - and where do we reach our limits?
• How does motivation change - and what role does communication play in overcoming new fears?

In a collegial exchange with experienced systemic coaches, this session gives you the opportunity to contribute your own questions, get food for thought on
and develop practical solutions together. This is not just about impulses, but also about space for reflection and further development.
 

The future of document processing has begun - with AI clerks that read, check and process consignment notes, invoices and customs documents independently. The past few months have impressively demonstrated that traditional OCR tools and rigid SaaS products are a thing of the past. In his presentation, Holger Trittenbach (Head of Product at ExB) will show how Anna - a virtual AI clerk - not only processes documents, but also understands them. In a live demo, she recognizes discrepancies in real documents and transfers structured data directly into the TMS or ERP system - seamlessly integrated and ready for use in just a few days. For anyone who wants to make processes smarter, reduce the workload of teams and reach the next level of automation with AI.

Forecasting is good - but what if your supply chain could see for itself what's coming? this keynote shows why the journey from forecasting to true demand intelligence is not optional, but critical, and why it's not just about algorithms - but a whole new way of making supply chain decisions.
 

Discover how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the future of supply chain planning through human-machine collaboration. This session explores real-world applications of AI agents that go beyond automation - enhancing decision-making, increasing agility, and empowering planners to drive smarter, faster, and more resilient operations. Join us to see how collaborative intelligence is not just a buzzword, but a competitive advantage.
 

AI systems often seem like a “black box”. The open-source concept offers an opportunity to open the box: sharing training data, pre-trained models and software creates an open innovation ecosystem. Companies are faced with the make-or-buy decision, with established technology providers increasingly also offering open-source interfaces. The “make” decision, i.e. developing their own AI solutions, offers more control and customization options, while technology providers score points with proven infrastructure and scalability. Companies make their choice based on strategic considerations of market position, security and the benefits of a transparent, collaboratively developed solution.
