One day. One room. One chance to avoid AI pitfalls
Distribution Strategy Group leads the way in research and programming around AI in distribution for North America. Now we’ve curated an agenda to help you skip over years experimenting, failing, refining, to deploy AI at scale successfully.
Limited seats. Regional access.
The AI Forum is intentionally small — one room, one day, one conversation. We cap attendance to keep the peer dialogue tight and the networking real.
When the room fills, registration closes. Past DSG events have sold out four to six weeks before the date.
5 Reasons You Need To Be In The Room
A practical AI roadmap. Implementation strategies from distributors who’ve already deployed — with the cost, time, and ROI signals attached.
Real use cases, not hype. AI-powered search and merchandising, demand forecasting, customer service agents, ERP-native AI, sales enablement — grounded in what’s actually working.
A short-list of vetted technology partners. Meet the AI vendors already proven inside North American distribution environments — plus the UK and EU players worth watching.
Peers who are wrestling with the same questions. Distribution leaders from across the UK, Ireland, and continental Europe — with structured time built in to compare notes.
A head start most of your competitors won’t have. By the time AI is mainstream conversation in UK distribution boardrooms, you’ll already have your strategy in market.
