Are AI Agents Your Next Work Colleagues?

Can AI agents become integral members of your team in the near future?

Join our event at Schenker Technology Center Warsaw to explore how these intelligent systems can enhance productivity, streamline operations, collaborate with human employees, and transform our future workplaces.
