Hands on AI Workship by Distribution Strategy Group (All Attendees)<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

The session is built for both distributor and supplier members, with content designed for sales and purchasing leaders who need a real path forward. Attendees will leave with a working roadmap framework, two or three demonstrated AI applications they can replicate the next week, and a clear understanding of where to invest first.<\/span><\/p>\n

This workshop is designed to deliver five measurable outcomes for IBC’s distributor and supplier members:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Demystify AI for members with limited or no IT resources. Establish a shared vocabulary and remove the noise so attendees can separate hype from real applications.<\/li>\n
  2. Demonstrate two to three live applications using widely available large language models (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini), so attendees see what is possible without a SaaS subscription or a vendor selection process.<\/li>\n
  3. Equip every attendee with at least one specific tool or technique they can implement within their first week back, addressing real distribution and supplier workflows.<\/li>\n
  4. Provide a distribution-specific roadmap framework that helps each attendee identify the five or six AI use cases worth pursuing in their business, instead of the fifty being marketed.<\/li>\n
  5. Position IBC as the network that helps the long tail of members move from AI curiosity to AI execution, supporting the existing IBC Power Hour program with deeper applied content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
