Location

Description
Sustain360° is pleased to join the Madison International Trade Association (MITA) on September 8th for a session on how Generative AI is changing international trade management.
The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence in political and business spaces brings both significant benefits and challenges. AI is a great tool when it comes to the rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape. But that tool comes at the price of data privacy and national data sovereignty concerns.
This session will look at how businesses can securely leverage proprietary trade data to gain financial insights, streamline cross-border operations, and strengthen supply chain resilience, without compromising data security or regulatory compliance. Attendees will hear real-world do's and don'ts and gain insights to turn risk into strategic advantage.
This event is built for global business leaders, supply chain, procurement and trade finance professionals, risk analysts, and logistics and IT strategy leaders looking to understand how AI can shape the future of international trade.
Sustain360° CEO and Founder, Baz Khuti, will join Tom Johnson, Senior Global Data Analyst – Trade Compliance at Trek Bicycle, as featured speakers for the session.
Admission
MITA Members: $35 | Non-Members: $50
