The Multimodal Conference is known for facilitating the sharing of expertise, and this year is launching an AI Clinic on the main floor of the event. It aims to be a ‘one stop shop’ for all things AI, debunking myths and uncovering the broad range of opportunities it offers. Featuring interactive sessions and personalised consultations, the Clinic will equip visitors with the knowledge and tools to harness the power of AI thanks to world-class business transformation experts.

Held at Birmingham’s NEC, Multimodal brings together businesses, thought leaders and associations from across the supply chain industry, with the most outstanding firms and individuals recognised at an Awards ceremony. Visitors can register now for free, with details of all conference sessions and exhibitors available to view online.

Multimodal 2025 Event Director Robert Jervis sees the Conference as a key knowledge sharing event for the industry, commenting: “Whether visitors are looking to upskill, update their policy knowledge or learn best practice procedures, Multimodal has something for everyone. Three theatres will host industry experts who address a huge number of topics and share their insights across what is a packed programme.

“Details of the Conference, speakers and sessions are now live so visitors can start to map out what sessions to attend on one or more of the event days. This year we are also giving visitors the opportunity to learn more about AI in our newly launched AI Clinic which will run on each day of the event. We would encourage all visitors to drop in to learn more about this fast-paced topic.”
