AI Workshop: Stop Guessing. Start Planning.
April 20, 2026 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET
This highly interactive, three-hour workshop is designed for distribution and manufacturing leaders who know AI matters but need a clear, practical plan for what to do next. Instead of focusing on theory, the session zeroes in on execution, showing how AI can drive real results across operations, sales, IT, marketing, and supply chain.
With your laptop open, you’ll work directly on your own business challenges, identifying where AI creates the most value, prioritizing use cases, and building a credible business case tied to ROI. Using a proprietary AI Roadmap tool and ROI Calculator, you’ll leave with a customized, actionable implementation plan you can confidently take back to your leadership team.

Most AI sessions explain what AI is. This workshop is built to help you decide what to do next – inside your business, tied directly to your operations, priorities, and results.
In this highly interactive, three-hour, hands-on workshop, you’ll move beyond awareness and experimentation into practical execution. Designed for distribution and manufacturing leaders who know AI matters but lack a clear, actionable plan, this session provides a structured, repeatable way to identify where AI creates value, how to prioritize use cases, and how to justify investment with credible ROI.
This is not a sit-and-listen session. With your laptop open, you’ll actively work through your own business challenges. You’ll see how AI-enabled applications—across operations, sales, IT, marketing, and supply chain—are delivering value today, then map those applications directly to your workflows, bottlenecks, and opportunities.
Using our proprietary AI Roadmap tool and ROI Calculator, you’ll build a customized implementation plan you can confidently present to leadership.
You’ll Leave With:
- A prioritized AI roadmap tailored to your business
- ROI projections for your top three AI use cases
- Clear next steps for pilots, ownership, and execution
- Exclusive access to the AI Roadmap tool (yours to keep)
This workshop is practical, focused, and execution-oriented. It’s designed to help you move from interest to action… and from discussion to decisions.
