Discover how AI-accelerated design transforms months of work into days, freeing teams to focus on strategic imagination instead of data wrestling, and building supply chains that adapt as fast as the world changes.
OptiCon is where you'll learn how leading organizations are turning AI-driven design into their unfair advantage.
See live demonstrations of breakthrough AI capabilities that collapse modeling from months to days
Hear from companies who've made design their competitive edge
Network with 300+ supply chain professionals facing the same challenges
Master the tools to run bold experiments on your network without risk
Visit the Design Lab for a quick question or stay for a while to try a new experiment. We'll feature new stations this year, all staffed by Optilogic team members you know and love!
The conference kicks off Tuesday evening with a casual welcome reception on the second floor of The Department at Hudson’s. Enjoy drinks, light appetizers, and great conversations to set the tone for two days of supply chain learning and inspiration. On Wednesday evening, join us in Corktown at The Yard for an exciting night of delicious food, drinks, board games and yard games, live music, and plenty of networking opportunities!
We're offering a full day of interactive training courses to help you harness AI-accelerated capabilities, gain new skills, and bring fresh ideas back to tackle your toughest what-if questions at unprecedented speed.
Are you leveraging network optimization but what wonder how your network designs will perform in practice? Do aggregations and abstractions make it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of design changes?
Simulation provides the detail you need. Seasoned simulation practitioners and optimization professionals alike will find value in the complementary solutions of optimization and simulation.
In this hands-on session you will employ optimization results within simulation models to arrive at greater insights, discuss best practices, and leave ready to get started.
We all know miles are king in vehicle routing, but is that the whole story? Real networks involve far more nuance, from service expectations to flexibility, cost structure, and operational constraints.
Hopper is our strategy‑focused vehicle routing engine built to help supply chain teams understand these deeper trade‑offs and design routing approaches that reflect the full complexity of their distribution network.
This course will cover foundational routing concepts before quickly pivoting to the innovative ways Optilogic is approaching these challenges today.
Participants will explore these ideas with experienced Optilogic practitioners, using realistic scenarios to uncover where intuition falls short and strategic insight drives better decisions.
Ready to move beyond standard cost-minimization models?
This course is designed for experienced practitioners looking to build more realistic, decision-ready network designs.
Participants will learn how to prioritize and operationalize model outputs within real-world constraints, and apply advanced modeling techniques. Leave with practical approaches you can apply immediately to your own projects.
Tired of spending weeks untangling messy data before your network design project even begins?
This course shows how AI can streamline each stage of model building. Using DataStar's AI agents, participants will build a Cosmic Frog model from messy and incomplete data, learning how to accelerate the journey from raw data to decision-ready models while reducing setup time and improving consistency.
We'll also cover how AI can summarize results to sharpen scenario analysis and executive communication. Spend less time preparing models and more time evaluating trade-offs and driving business impact.
