project44, the global leader in supply chain decision intelligence, will host decision44, its flagship event, this April. Focused on converting AI-driven intelligence into tangible operational results, the event will occur on two continents: April 8-9, 2026, at Convene at Willis Tower in Chicago, and April 15-16, 2026, at the Okura Hotel in Amsterdam.
Tailored for supply chain, logistics, and transportation executives and practitioners, decision44 comes at a critical juncture. Evolving trade policies, geopolitical instability, and rapid AI adoption are compelling organizations to shift from reactive decision-making to connected, predictive, and automated systems that see, act, and adapt across the supply chain.

"decision44 is where the industry defines what modern execution looks like," said Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO of project44. "As volatility and cost pressure reshape global trade, the ability to deploy AI agents that act, adapt, and coordinate across the supply chain is becoming a defining competitive advantage. decision44 shows leaders how intelligent orchestration closes the gap between strategy and measurable outcomes."
Attendees will gain practical insights into embedding AI in supply chain strategy, advancing from reactive to predictive operations, and fostering smarter collaboration across partners. Sessions include real-world customer stories from leading brands, hands-on training, and discussions on leveraging unified data for resilient, high-performing supply chains.
