In this Agentic Age, Supply chain leaders are racing to adopt AI—but isolated solutions and disconnected systems often limit real impact. The true promise of AI emerges only when we reimagine the supply chain as a fully connected enterprise, breaking down decades-old silos across planning, logistics, materials, finance, and sustainability. In this session, Manik Sharma, Head of Supply Chain GTM AI at Celonis—magic quadrant leader, recognized globally and ranked #3 on the Fortune 50 Most Promising Companies list—will unpack how a modern AI-enabled tech stack can unify fragmented data, systems, and processes through a connected semantic layer that digitizes the physical value chain. Once established, this semantic layer becomes a dynamic foundation for intelligent, data-driven operations by infusing it with enterprise context—from rules, constraints, and parameters to policies and proven models—unlocking true end-to-end enterprise intelligence. This intelligence can then be democratized across the organization to power self-serve analytics, build composable AI solutions, and orchestrate workflows, collaboration, agents, and actions at scale. We’ll explore how companies are using this approach to unlock self-serve analytics, accelerate development of composable AI applications, and orchestrate autonomous workflows and agents at scale. This is not a future vision but a proven path for organizations that…

Let’s face it, MRO inventory is usually overbought and underinsured, costing millions. But organizations rarely do anything about it because they’re convinced their data just isn’t in a good enough place to make MRO optimization a priority. But perfect data doesn’t exist, it never will, no matter how many data cleanses you waste money on. Explore how AI is creating a new approach to MRO/indirect materials optimization and bridging the gap between procurement and operations teams, while breaking the stigma of having to have perfect data to get started. Learn how leading manufacturers have adopted an AI approach and have learned the secret that’s been hiding in plain sight. We’ll discuss topics such as: -Eliminating the need for lengthy and costly data cleanse projects -Increasing visibility of spend and price variances to reduce tail spend -Building confidence in your MRO inventory availability to ensure you will have the right part at the right time at the right place, at the right cost -Identifying millions in savings opportunities through inventory deduplication, revamped stocking policies, and network-sharing opportunities
