Thursday, August 20, 2026 – online professional development meeting

 

Feature Presentation Title:  Agentic AI 101 for Supply Chain Management

This webinar provides a practical introduction to Agentic AI and what it means for modern supply chains. We’ll explore the technical underpinnings that make Agentic systems possible, how they differ from traditional automation / other types of AI, and what types of problems they are well suited to solve (and which ones they are not). A significant part of the presentation will be devoted to real-world supply chain examples and case studies.
