Becoming a sponsor
The main requirement: focus on artificial intelligence
Please focus your content on artificial intelligence, applications powered by AI and subtopics such as machine learning. We understand that AI may power only a portion of your overall capabilities and you will need to explain your broader value proposition to provide context.
We will vet presentations to ensure they focus primarily on the role of artificial intelligence in your products and services.
For presenters
Focus on specific AI-enabled tools you currently offer or plan to provide within the next 12–24 months to help distributors grow sales, boost productivity, and improve working capital. DSG will review all presentation materials to ensure they aren’t “sales pitches.” Presenters must be approved by DSG.
For sponsors
All exhibitors must prominently feature AI-powered capabilities. Please focus demos, conversations and exhibits around AI. Marketing material to promote the show and used at the event should feature AI.
