No noise. No hype reels. Just senior leaders from manufacturing and distribution working through what's actually moving the needle with AI.
The Experience
B2B NEXT AI isn't a trade show. It's a working summit of 200 invited practitioners, a single venue and a tight, deliberate program built around the questions you're actually asking.
Every format is in service of one outcome: you leave with frameworks, contacts and conviction that materially change what your AI approach and strategy.
What you'll do
No vendor decks. Senior operators from manufacturing and distribution sharing what they've actually shipped — wins, dead ends and the systems behind both.
Small, Chatham-House groups organized by role and challenge. Trade tactics with people who manage the same P&L pressures you do.
Working sessions on agents, RAG over product data, pricing copilots and AI search. Leave with prompts, architectures and benchmarks you can use Monday.
Optional certification program for B2B leaders, designed with our academic partners. Earn a credential while you're here.
We hand-match attendees ahead of the summit so the people you most need to meet are already on your schedule.
Fire-pit receptions under Camelback Mountain. The conversations that change companies almost always happen after the last session ends.
The shape of the summit
Opening keynotes, the State of AI in B2B briefing, and the first round of practitioner case studies. Welcome reception on the Citizens Club lawn.
Hands-on labs, peer roundtables and the certification capstone. Closing fireside, then a long desert dinner under the stars.
Inside the Room
Your stay at Mountain Shadows is included with every ticket. Breakfasts, lunches, receptions and the closing dinner are all on us, so you can focus on the people around you, not logistics.
Who you'll meet
CEOs, COOs, Chief Digital and Chief AI Officers, heads of ecommerce and operations from manufacturers and distributors building real AI strategies. Plus the ambassadors, founders and researchers shaping where the category goes next.
200 seats. One venue. Two days that will change how you think about AI in B2B.
