Supply Chain AI Symposium

Join FreightWaves in the heart of Chicago for a high-impact symposium on the real-world application of AI in global supply chains. From seed-stage founders to global enterprise providers, we’re gathering the entire supply chain ecosystem under one roof to explore how artificial intelligence is being embedded into every mile of the supply chain.

Don’t miss your opportunity to network with other industry leaders, learn about the latest developments in supply chain AI and help drive the future as we move past the hype and into a new AI-integrated future.

Why 2026 is the year of "Value-Driven AI" and how to measure enterprise-wide impact

Moving from "Copilots" to "Autonomous Agents"

Building supply chain models that can pivot in hours, not weeks, during global trade shifts

Using virtual replicas for real-time facility design and energy-aware routing

How AI agents from different companies (shippers vs. carriers) are now "negotiating" rates and capacity in real-time

Why the future of logistics isn't ChatGPT, but custom models

Optimization using predictive AI models

Using AI to solve labor shortages without "replacing" the human element

And much more!
