The rapid progression of connectivity has taken us from isolated smart devices to an era where intelligence is ambient. In this talk, Amir Khoshniyati will explore how Ambient IoT is redefining the digital-physical interface. The session will cover: – How formerly “inactive” objects such as food, pharmaceuticals and shipping containers are becoming data-generating endpoints that power real-time visibility, automation, and sustainability across industries. – The technological evolution from traditional barcodes and RFID into active IoT to Ambient IoT, where low-cost, self-powered tags transform everyday items into connected, communicative assets. – Real-world deployments that highlight the massive potential for supply chain optimization, environmental accountability, and consumer trust through Digital Product Passports (DPPs). Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of why Ambient IoT is not just the next phase of connectivity but the foundation of a truly responsive intelligent world.

Since 2014 five external mega-trends have become an increasingly critical factor for global executives and Chief SC Officers. These mega trends have resulted in constant supply chain disruption and even chaos both locally and globally. While Geopolitical trade issues and tariffs have played a key role, the issues are much broader than just tariffs. Companies have already announced new investments in the USA of over $2.6 Trillion dollars. Trade deals have accelerated foreign public announced investments to $4.7 Trillion. This means the combined investment is an amazing $7.3 Trillion. While investment is booming, talent and infrastructure bottlenecks threaten project delivery and then we face the issue of having trained qualified staffing to run the new data center sites, major new energy operations and manufacturing reshoring. All of this is happening as Generation Z will be replacing the baby boomers as the primary employees. The 70 companies that are members and sponsors of the University of Tennessee Supply Chain Management program have identified their number one issue is the ability to create leaders who are Transformational Servant Leaders. Leaders who can engage, develop, and inspire this new generation. In this musical keynote we will learn the four most powerful ways to inspire others by experiencing a creative world-class musical performance that will impact your heart and mind. You will hear amazing examples of how others have created an inspired culture that people will want to join, stay, and give their all.

Anti-fragile supply chains require strong partnerships across a global, diverse ecosystem driven by private-public sector collaboration and an up-skilled and re-skilled workforce.

Part Analytics / Altium
Electronics demand is at an all-time high, driving cost, availability, compliance, and margin, yet sourcing remains fragmented across spreadsheets, inboxes, and disconnected risk tools. This session examines why digital transformation often overlooks electronics sourcing, how rising BOM complexity and pressures (tariffs, EOL, regional constraints) amplify the problem, and what leading teams do differently. We’ll outline an integrated operating model that aggregates BOMs and quotes, enriches them with live market and risk data, and applies AI to flag price variance, exposure, and alternates, all while standardizing RFQ workflows across business units and EMS partners. A real-world example (Emerson Electric) shows how centralized analysis and streamlined RFQs surface measurable savings and accelerate supplier alignment.

In this session, IntegrityNext will share how it helps leaders turn constant supply risk into a reliable advantage by unifying supplier intelligence, automating exception-heavy due diligence, and activating real-time risk signals that keep materials moving and margins protected. We’ll translate resilience into outcomes your business cares about: shorter cycle times, fewer disruptions, and lower cost-to-serve. You’ll learn how procurement, supply chain, and sustainability teams can step up as board-level value creators, not back-office problem solvers. You’ll leave with: what to monitor, where to automate, and how to mobilize cross-functional partners to turn compliance and continuity into confidence, cash flow, and career-defining impact.
