Nick Pericle, Tenexity | Keynote Speaker Session | AI Hype vs. Reality: What's Actually Working in Manufacturing and Distribution
There's no shortage of AI headlines. This session cuts through them by showing the work. Nick Pericle walksthrough where AI really stands today, what manufacturers and distributors are getting out of it and where the
hype still runs ahead of reality. Through live demonstrations built around the everyday work of FGIA members,
from quoting and product information to customer service and operations, attendees will see what's possible
with tools many of them already have. Nick will also cover how teams are getting started, how to keep company
data safe and what's coming next. Every attendee leaves with the slide deck, the prompts used in the room and a
resource site to keep using after the conference.
