Upcoming Chicago Summit to Focus on AI in Global Supply Chains

On July 15, 2026, the historic Old Post Office in Chicago will host the Supply Chain AI Symposium, an event organized by FreightWaves.

While artificial intelligence is often discussed as a theoretical concept, this symposium seeks to bridge the gap between hype and practical, real-world application.

Bringing together everyone from seed-stage startup founders to large-scale enterprise leaders, the event aims to integrate AI directly into global logistics.

Discussions will move beyond academic research to explore how data generation across the supply chain can power machine learning tasks.

Furthermore, the symposium will address the vital link between digital transformation and sustainability, showing how modern leaders track environmental indicators through advanced technology.

As the industry evolves, this gathering serves as a critical milestone for anyone looking to understand how intelligent software is becoming the backbone of global trade.
