Agentic AI in 2027 – What Distributors Need to Know Now

Wednesday November 18, 2026 @ 1:00 PM ET | Virtual


There’s been a lot of AI chatter this year, and the gap between hype and reality remains significant.

Tim Spencer, CEO and Co-Founder of Didero, has spent a lot of time working with distribution businesses and watching all of this play out. In this session, Tim will share what he’s learned, walking you through what AI is handling today, where it hasn’t taken off yet, and what’s coming in 2027.

Join us as we dig into what AI means for wholesale distribution heading into next year.

You’ll Leave With:

  • What AI is handling today inside wholesale distribution operations
  • What a purchasing team looks like when manual work goes away
  • How to start small without disrupting the business
  • The questions to ask any vendor before you sign
  • What to expect in 2027, and how to get ahead of it

(Spoiler: you’ll also get a live look at AI agents that haven’t been released yet.)
