Each track provides two 60-minute working sessions across the two-day event, with the possibility of additional overflow sessions for tracks that need the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Track chairs are working with invited corporate and academic partners to build agendas that go beyond presentations. Expect working sessions, panel discussions and collaborative problem-solving focused on how AI is changing your specific function and what to do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-full-width-group has-sanjuan-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-65e50580 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:40px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:40px;padding-left:20px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-0c1459d4 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<div id=\"session1\" class=\"wp-block-group has-white-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d6b9e94e wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-top-color:var(--wp--preset--color--orange);border-top-width:4px;border-right-color:var(--wp--preset--color--orange);border-right-width:4px;border-bottom-color:var(--wp--preset--color--orange);border-bottom-width:4px;border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--orange);border-left-width:15px;padding-top:40px;padding-right:40px;padding-bottom:40px;padding-left:40px\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session 1 – AI Automation & Future of Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This session explores how AI is redefining roles, skills and talent strategy across every function.

understand and serve customers \u2014 making personalization possible on an unprecedented scale. This session explores how marketing, sales and supply chains are converging around a shared goal: a seamless, AI-enabled customer experience from first touchpoint to last-mile fulfillment. Panelists will share how leading firms use AI-powered sales intelligence, demand sensing and personalization to drive revenue and deepen loyalty. The commercial edge increasingly belongs to organizations that deploy AI across the full customer journey. We will also address the data and organizational challenges of executing this in practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Marketing & Sales, Analytics, Management<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Moderator<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/haslam.utk.edu\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/alex-zablah.jpeg\" alt=\"Alex Zablah\" class=\"wp-image-316\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;width:100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haslam.utk.edu\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/alex-zablah.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/haslam.utk.edu\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/alex-zablah-250x218.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/haslam.utk.edu\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/alex-zablah-120x105.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/haslam.utk.edu\/people\/profile\/alex-zablah\/\">Alex Zablah<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px\"><em>Gerber\/Taylor Distinguished Professor, Kinney Family Faculty Research Fellow<\/em><br><em>Marketing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links has-icon-color is-style-logos-only is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px\"><li style=\"color:#ff8200\" class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-linkedin has-orange-color wp-block-social-link\"><a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alexzablah\/\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M19.7,3H4.3C3.582,3,3,3.582,3,4.3v15.4C3,20.418,3.582,21,4.3,21h15.4c0.718,0,1.3-0.582,1.3-1.3V4.3 C21,3.582,20.418,3,19.7,3z M8.339,18.338H5.667v-8.59h2.672V18.338z M7.004,8.574c-0.857,0-1.549-0.694-1.549-1.548 c0-0.855,0.691-1.548,1.549-1.548c0.854,0,1.547,0.694,1.547,1.548C8.551,7.881,7.858,8.574,7.004,8.574z M18.339,18.338h-2.669 v-4.177c0-0.996-0.017-2.278-1.387-2.278c-1.389,0-1.601,1.086-1.601,2.206v4.249h-2.667v-8.59h2.559v1.174h0.037 c0.356-0.675,1.227-1.387,2.526-1.387c2.703,0,3.203,1.779,3.203,4.092V18.338z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n<li style=\"color:#ff8200\" class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-chain has-orange-color wp-block-social-link\"><a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/haslam.utk.edu\/people\/profile\/alex-zablah\/\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M15.6,7.2H14v1.5h1.6c2,0,3.7,1.7,3.7,3.7s-1.7,3.7-3.7,3.7H14v1.5h1.6c2.8,0,5.2-2.3,5.2-5.2,0-2.9-2.3-5.2-5.2-5.2zM4.7,12.4c0-2,1.7-3.7,3.7-3.7H10V7.2H8.4c-2.9,0-5.2,2.3-5.2,5.2,0,2.9,2.3,5.2,5.2,5.2H10v-1.5H8.4c-2,0-3.7-1.7-3.7-3.7zm4.6.9h5.3v-1.5H9.3v1.5z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Link<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Speakers<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-orange-dots\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/will-croushorn-mba-00960122b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Will Croushorn<\/a>, product lead \u2013 FreshAi, Wendy\u2019s \u2013 Nashville<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/johanneshabel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Johannes Habel<\/a>, Michael J.
