Boeing Center Industry Conference 2025

AI & Trade Wars: Shaping the Future of Global Supply Chains

This year’s conference will bring together leaders from industry and academia to explore how artificial intelligence and escalating trade tensions are reshaping the global supply chain landscape. As companies navigate technological disruption alongside geopolitical uncertainty, the discussions will highlight both the risks and the opportunities that will define the next era of global operations.

Hear expert insights on harnessing AI for smarter, faster, and more resilient supply chains—while also confronting the challenges of policy shifts, regulatory friction, and shifting trade alliances. Presenters will share strategies for balancing efficiency, sustainability, and resilience in a world where supply chains are increasingly at the center of both innovation and international competition.


KEY TOPICS

  • AI, robotics, and machine learning for process optimization and manufacturing
  • High-impact use cases of AI in supply chain operations and applications
  • Robotic and automation trends that will reshape supply chains in the next decade
  • Organizational and workforce impacts of AI adoption in global networks
  • Managing regulatory and trade-related risks in AI-driven supply chains
  • Leveraging large language models (LLMs) for complex global planning and trade scenarios
  • Implications for data infrastructure and energy use amid explosive AI growth
  • Balancing sustainability goals with the pressures of geopolitical trade conflicts


This year’s lineup includes thought leaders and practitioners from Amazon, Edward Jones, MilliporeSigma, Bunge, and other industry-leading firms. The Boeing Center Industry Conference will provide actionable insights, forward-looking perspectives, and a unique forum for collaboration. We look forward to seeing you there!
