Agentic AI 101's impact on Supply Chain Management

AI is moving fast—but what does the next wave actually mean for supply chain professionals?

In this practical, non-technical session, we’ll break down Agentic AI in plain English. Think of it as AI that can take initiative, make decisions, and coordinate actions across systems—not just automate a single task or generate insights.

You’ll learn:

• What Agentic AI really is (and how it’s different from traditional automation and analytics)
• Where it actually works in supply chains—and where it doesn’t
• How companies are using it today across planning, procurement, operations, and supplier management
• Real-world examples and case studies, not hype
• Upcoming events from ASCM Northern Colorado & Wichita

Most importantly, you’ll walk away with a practical framework to help you spot high-value opportunities and decide whether this technology makes sense in your own organization—now or in the future. Whether you’re a supply chain leader, planner, procurement professional, or operations manager, this session will help you separate buzzwords from business value and understand how AI is evolving from a tool into a teammate.
