Skills – not technology – are the real barrier to AI adoption.

In 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.

From 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.

What you will learn

• How 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.
• Practical frameworks for evaluating AI vendors, cutting through marketing claims, and selecting solutions that fit your environment.
• Project management approaches built for AI's unique risks, timelines, and success metrics.
• How to move from scattered experimentation to focused implementation that delivers measurable results.
• Common skill gaps that stall AI adoption – and how leading distributors are closing them without hiring an army of data scientists.

Who should attend

• Distribution executives building AI-ready organizations and setting implementation priorities.
• Technology, IT, and operations leaders responsible for evaluating vendors and managing AI projects.
• Sales, marketing, and supply chain leaders who need to understand AI's capabilities and limitations.
• HR and learning leaders developing AI training and upskilling programs for their teams.

This session will provide practical guidance and real-world perspectives you can apply immediately to accelerate AI adoption in your organization.
