Main Stage
How to Build or Transform your Supply Chain for AI Efficiency.
This keynote provides practical insights into harnessing artificial intelligence across the entire supply chain. Attendees will learn how to design or evolve supply chains so that processes, technologies, and teams are fully enabled for AI-driven efficiency. The presentation explores two central approaches: first, how to build a new supply chain that is ready for AI from the ground up; and second, how to transform existing processes, systems, and people to extract maximum value from AI applications. By addressing both starting points, the keynote inspires participants to initiate and actively shape the changes required for a truly future-ready supply chain.
