On June 10, the NAW Institute for Distribution Excellence joined Texas A&M University’s Industrial Distribution Program and the Thomas and Joan Read Center and the AI Applied Consortium to host the inaugural Applied AI Symposium in College Station, Texas.

Read the full recap for the themes, speakers, and what comes next.
This is the kind of conversation NAW convenes throughout the year. If you want to be in the room next time, take a look at the NAW Innovators Summit and our Executive Roundtables.
