Where tech innovation meets the distribution industry
Coming Q4 2026 | Venue TBD
Register Now →Austin is synonymous with tech innovation, and that forward-thinking mindset is reshaping the distribution sector across Central Texas. As the metro continues its explosive growth, so does demand for building materials, electrical supply, HVAC, and industrial products — creating enormous opportunities for distributors ready to modernize.
Austin's distribution community is uniquely positioned to adopt AI early. The talent pool understands technology, customers expect digital-first experiences, and the competitive landscape rewards innovation over tradition.
The Austin AI & Automation Lab is built for tech-forward distribution professionals who want to lead the industry's transformation. From Voice AI demos to hands-on CRM automation workshops, you'll leave with actionable skills and a concrete implementation plan.
Six focused sessions covering the most impactful AI and automation use cases for wholesale distributors — with live demos and hands-on labs.
Deploy AI agents that handle inbound calls, take orders, answer questions, and route complex issues to your team. Live demo + hands-on setup.
Build multi-channel sequences (email, SMS, voice) that reactivate dormant customers and follow up on quotes automatically.
Use AI to predict reorder timing, flag anomalies, and automate routine order processing so your team focuses on exceptions.
Equip your reps with mobile CRM, route optimization, and AI-generated call prep sheets before every customer visit.
Automate past-due follow-ups with voice AI that calls customers, sends payment reminders, and escalates intelligently.
Turn your ERP and CRM data into actionable dashboards: customer health scores, territory performance, inventory alerts.
