DESCRIPTION:Join the AfA Technology Committee for a practical\, forwarder-
 focused discussion on Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and 
 Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)\, and how emerging AI tools are being 
 used to extend and customize these platforms in real-world operations. 
 What to expect: &bull\; Real-world use of TMS and WMS in forwarding 
 operations &bull\; How forwarders are adapting standard systems to fit 
 their workflows &bull\; Practical applications of AI as a customization 
 and enhancement layer &bull\; Open discussion on challenges\, 
 limitations\, and opportunities &bull\; Direct insights from industry 
 practitioners and technology leaders We will explore how forwarders are 
 working with out-of-the-box systems\, and increasingly layering AI-driven 
 tools and configurations on top to better fit their operational needs. 
 From global\, multi-office organizations to warehouse-driven workflows\, 
 the conversation will focus on how technology is actually being adapted 
 inside day-to-day logistics environments. The discussion will be hosted by
  Geoff Milsom and Amanda Barlow\, who will guide a conversational format 
 grounded in real operational experience rather than theoretical 
 frameworks. We will hear from: &bull\; Brandon Fried &bull\; Charles 
 Marrale &bull\; Sal DiDonato &bull\; Brennan O&rsquo\;Dowd This is a 
 grounded conversation about the systems that run the industry and how 
 forwarders are actively shaping them rather than simply adopting them as 
 is.
