SUMMARY:AI News and Gurus: The Show for Intelligent Distributors
DESCRIPTION:Skills – not technology – are the real barrier to AI adoption. \nIn this session\, we cut through the AI hype to address what’s actually holding distributors back: the knowledge and capabilities needed to evaluate\, implement\, and scale AI initiatives successfully. \nFrom building organization-wide AI literacy to developing the vendor evaluation and project management skills that turn pilots into production\, this session focuses on closing the capability gap that separates AI leaders from the 66% still stuck in experimentation mode. \nWhat you will learn \n\nHow to build AI literacy across your organization so every team understands what AI can and can’t do – and how to work alongside it effectively.\nPractical frameworks for evaluating AI vendors\, cutting through marketing claims\, and selecting solutions that fit your environment.\nProject management approaches built for AI’s unique risks\, timelines\, and success metrics.\nHow to move from scattered experimentation to focused implementation that delivers measurable results.\nCommon skill gaps that stall AI adoption – and how leading distributors are closing them without hiring an army of data scientists.\n\nWho should attend \n\nDistribution executives building AI-ready organizations and setting implementation priorities.\nTechnology\, IT\, and operations leaders responsible for evaluating vendors and managing AI projects.\nSales\, marketing\, and supply chain leaders who need to understand AI’s capabilities and limitations.\nHR and learning leaders developing AI training and upskilling programs for their teams.\n\nThis session will provide practical guidance and real-world perspectives you can apply immediately to accelerate AI adoption in your organization.
