Join industry professionals for a night of networking and education in Scottsdale, AZ. This event is part of the CLDA CONNECT regional networking series and is open to members and non-members who want to connect with leaders from across the final mile delivery industry.

Jared Allen of Openforce will moderate an educational panel entitled AI in Action: How Final Mile Carriers Are Using Technology to Build Smarter Operations from 6:00–7:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.

This is a real-world carrier conversation, not a product pitch. Panelists will discuss how they are using AI, automation, and other technologies to improve operations, where implementation has proven more difficult than expected, and how they decide which technologies are worth investing in next.

All attendees must register in advance and are encouraged to arrive promptly for the education session. Open networking with leaders from across the industry will continue following the panel.
