Applied AI for Distributors 2024: A Wild Success!

We are thrilled to share the incredible experience Intuilize had at the Applied AI for Distributors event held in June 2024 in Chicago. Organized by Distribution Strategy Group, this event brought together the brightest minds and leading innovators in the distribution industry. We were honored to present our AI-powered price and inventory optimization solutions to a highly engaged audience, marking a significant milestone for our team and our mission to revolutionize industrial distribution.

Unveiling the Future of Distribution

Chicago served as the perfect backdrop for this groundbreaking event. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation. Industry professionals, experts, and thought leaders gathered to explore the transformative potential of AI in distribution. The event's agenda was packed with insightful sessions, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities, creating an environment conducive to learning and collaboration.

Our Moment in the Spotlight

Intuilize took center stage at the event to present our cutting-edge solutions. Speaking to an audience of about 70 people, our CEO and Founder, Nelson Valderrama, was joined by our VP of Strategic Partnerships, Jason Birch, to discuss our framework to evaluate the best solutions for your business goals.

It is easy to become overwhelmed when there are so many options out there, especially now that AI solutions are offering never-before-seen possibilities. However, having a framework that starts from what your true business needs are can help. 

The response from the audience was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees were subsequently interested in our solution and how it could help them achieve their business goals. The engaging Q&A session that followed our presentation provided an excellent platform for us to delve deeper into the specifics of our technology. We were thrilled to see the enthusiasm and curiosity our solutions sparked among industry peers.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the event was the opportunity to connect with other professionals and organizations. We met a diverse group of attendees, ranging from distributors and manufacturers to technology providers and consultants. These interactions were invaluable, allowing us to exchange ideas, discuss industry trends, and explore potential collaborations.

The networking sessions were a highlight of the event, providing a relaxed and informal setting to build relationships and share experiences. We had the pleasure of engaging in meaningful conversations with many individuals who are as passionate about advancing the distribution industry as we are. These connections have already started to bear fruit, with several follow-up meetings and discussions scheduled in the coming weeks.
