Panel session
Artificial intelligence is gaining traction across the meat and food supply chain — but what’s genuinely useful, and what’s still experimental?
This panel will explore where AI is making a real difference in industry settings, drawing on practical examples and lived experience rather than technical theory. The conversation will unpack opportunities, challenges and the human implications of introducing AI, including impacts on roles, capability, culture and leadership decisions.
Designed to be accessible and grounded, this session will separate hype from helpful, and offer practical insights for organisations at all stages of their AI journey.
Panellists will be announced soon — stay tuned.
