Former CIA officers turned freight tech leaders Ryan Joyce and Kris Forrest share hard-won lessons from the frontlines of intelligence operations—from the tragic loss of CIA officers in a double-agent suicide attack to the decade-long tracking operation against Osama Bin Laden. The seasoned national security professionals detail how the evolving tradecraft in the Intelligence Community mirror the winning strategies of today’s supply chains -- from breaking data silos to building a connected, intelligence-driven tech stack. You don’t need spy training to outsmart fraudsters and drive better outcomes...but you do need to think like an intelligence officer.

A tactical conversation between investor Camila Saruhashi (Construct Capital) and Nauta founder Valentina Jordan on how AI is moving beyond visibility into actual execution—automating import ops, order tracking, and back-office coordination. With live deployments in global logistics, they’ll share what’s working, what’s not, and what it really takes to get AI into production.

In an industry that’s often stuck using old-school methods. This discussion will dive into the wide range of innovative AI applications in logistics, from LLMs and generative AI to agentic AI, showing how each one plays a role in making supply chains faster, smarter, and way more efficient. Using real examples, Val will explain how this technology is changing the way goods move around the world. Logistics touches virtually every business, yet it’s only just beginning to realize the potential of AI. Ushering in a new era of more intelligent and efficient supply chains is something everyone can get excited about.

As economic volatility and global shifts reshape the supply chain, AI is emerging as a critical tool for driving smarter, faster decisions. This session looks at how AI is delivering tangible impact and helping supply chains adapt with speed and precision.

Drawing from government case studies, this talk presents a foundation for GenAI deployment in mission-critical supply chain systems. We'll explore governance protocols that ensure accurate preservation of source information, including verbatim references and list integrity. The presentation addresses implementing these technologies in secure, resource-constrained environments where efficiency is as vital as accuracy. Practical examples will demonstrate how supply chain professionals can leverage GenAI while meeting strict operational requirements and technical limitations in mission-critical contexts.

From hurricanes to flash floods, extreme weather events are no longer rare disruptions – they're a constant operational threat. In this discussion, we'll explore how AI is transforming both weather forecasting itself and, more importantly, how that data is converted into actionable impact insights for supply chain, logistics, and trucking. Learn how modern AI tools are enabling companies to predict not just storms, but their specific disruptions to organizations – allowing risk mitigation and operational planning long before disasters strike.
