Two days. One conversation.
The shape below is locked. Session titles and chairs are confirmed as the faculty is named.
Day one · what moves
Registration and first coffee
The room assembles. Introductions are made by the Circle, not by badge.
Opening address
The state of the supply discipline, stated plainly and without a vendor slide.
The cost of certainty
Inventory, lead time and the price a business pays to know. A working session on real numbers.
Lanes under pressure
Where flow breaks first, and what the last four years actually taught the function.
The physical edge
Automation, polyfunctional robots and physical AI. Where the machine earns its place on the floor, and where the humanoid does not.
Lunch
Seated, placed by the Circle.
Resilience as a board line
Dual sourcing, nearshoring and sanctions exposure. What the board asks, and what the function can answer.
Roundtables
Eight tables, one question each, chaired by the room.
Confirmed as the faculty is named
AIO · 20 min · single provocation · into dinner. One question, no deck. The AIO conversation runs through the forum, not beside it.
Dinner
The interval where the forum does most of its work.
Day two · who supplies the future
Graduated autonomy
Agentic planning and physical execution. Where the system acts and where it stops, scoped by stakes rather than by capability.
Verification gates
Human checkpoints matched to consequence. What must be seen before a shipment moves.
Data the auditor accepts
Traceability, provenance and orchestration across the network. The evidence chain regulators now expect, and who holds it.
Lunch
Seated, placed by the Circle.
The customer is a machine
Ninety per cent of business to business purchasing moves to agents within three years. When a machine orders wrongly, the goods still physically move.
The 2027 review, rehearsed
Per phase return, with finance in the room. What the review will ask, and what the function will answer.
Confirmed as the faculty is named
AIO · 30 min. Where the data layer meets the decision the room has just made.
Close
The Circle closes the gap.
