Supply Chain Village is hosting a live roundtable on June 10, 2026 at 11:00 on whether Advanced Planning Systems remain the best tools to reduce inventory without degrading service levels. The session is part of “Les Mercredis de la Supply Chain” and will examine how AI, deep learning, generative AI and agentic approaches are changing forecasting, planning and operational decision-making.

The event brings together Zahir Bouchaala, CEO of Bevolta; Fabrice Chausserais, CEO of Elisa Industriq France; Jérôme Pacaud, Director at Findle; and Amine Benmesbah, President and Co-founder of My Exobrain. The discussion was also amplified on LinkedIn by Arnaud Morvan, who framed the key question as whether inventory optimization should remain primarily inside APS tools or increasingly rely on continuous arbitration in response to operational disruptions.

The operational stakes are significant for Inventory Optimization: APS platforms have long structured forecasting, constraints and planning logic, but AI-enabled systems are now being positioned around real-time simulation, exception handling and adaptive planning. The relevant issue is not whether APS disappear, but how planning systems, execution signals and AI agents should coexist without creating fragmented decision logic.

More details are available on the event page.

MyExobrain shared observations following Amine Benmesbah’s participation at the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium, focusing on where the market stands on Agentic AI for supply chain operations. The post argues that interest is accelerating, but many companies remain in exploration mode, with many solutions still closer to chat interfaces connected to siloed data than operational agents.

Why it matters: the signal points to a growing gap between AI marketing and real operational execution. For Supply Chain Planning, APS and Decision Intelligence, the challenge is not only to deploy assistants, but to design agents that monitor operations, identify risks, recommend actions, coordinate stakeholders and keep an auditable decision memory.

The impacted audience includes supply chain leaders, planning transformation teams, APS vendors and AI governance owners evaluating how to industrialize AI agents without creating disconnected automation layers. More details are available on the event post.

The RISC 2026 International Supply Chain Conference, organized by France Supply Chain, will take place on 9 April 2026 in Paris. The biennial event brings together senior leaders, practitioners, and transformation experts to discuss the future of Supply Chain Planning, operational excellence, resilience, and innovation.

This fourth edition focuses on returning to operational fundamentals while exploring how organizations can combine human expertise, execution discipline, and emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence to improve decision-making across increasingly complex supply networks. The conference is designed as a high-value forum for exchanging practical experiences and actionable transformation strategies.

An upcoming LinkedIn event titled The Hidden Risks of AI in Supply Chain highlights a growing concern for operations leaders: AI adoption is accelerating across planning, sourcing, logistics and execution, but the associated risks are often less visible than the productivity gains. These risks include opaque models, third-party dependencies, data exposure, model drift and weak accountability across the AI lifecycle.

This matters because many Supply Chain AI initiatives now sit between critical ERP, APS and execution systems. When AI recommendations influence forecasts, inventory positions, supplier priorities or allocation decisions, weak controls can create operational, cyber and governance exposure. Public cyber guidance on AI and machine learning supply chains warns that AI components can introduce risks across data, models, infrastructure, software and third-party services, and recommends lifecycle-level supply chain assessment.

The impacted audience includes supply chain executives, planning leaders, IT teams, data owners, procurement and governance functions deploying AI-enabled tools. The planning relevance is direct: AI should not only be assessed for forecast accuracy or automation potential, but also for explainability, override rules, data lineage, supplier accountability and incident response. More details are available on the event page.

Recent discussion around Agentic AI in supply chain warns that agents cannot safely optimize operations without physical context, execution constraints and human oversight. This matters for planning vendors and users because AI recommendations can appear logical while ignoring capacity, supplier reliability, transport limits, quality risk or shop-floor realities.

The impacted audience includes companies deploying AI agents across Supply Chain Planning, procurement, logistics, manufacturing and inventory workflows. The planning relevance is direct: agentic systems need guardrails, escalation logic, decision registries and Human-in-the-Loop review before influencing operational execution.

For Radar vendors, this alert applies broadly to tools positioned around autonomous planning, agentic AI, self-steering supply chains and decision automation. More details are available in the source discussion on multi-agent supply chains and control planes.

Intuiflow by Algo is holding its 2026 User Conference in Bordeaux, bringing together manufacturers and Supply Chain Planning professionals around practical feedback, roundtables, workshops and networking.

The agenda highlights current Supply Chain challenges, customer case studies, workshops on S&OP, scheduling and AI, as well as updates on the Intuiflow platform roadmap.

For planning leaders, the event is another signal that industrial companies are looking beyond generic planning tools toward more operational models such as Demand Driven Planning, DDMRP and flow-based decision systems. It also creates a relevant comparison point with enterprise planning ecosystems such as Kinaxis.

More details are available on the event page.

Kinaxis has started building momentum around Kinexions 2026, its flagship customer and ecosystem event focused on the future of Supply Chain Planning, AI adoption and collaborative decision-making.

As organizations accelerate investments in Artificial Intelligence and Concurrent Planning, industry events such as Kinexions increasingly serve as indicators of where planning platforms, implementation partners and enterprise customers are focusing their priorities.

Amine BENMESBAH, co-creator of MyExobrain, is attending the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo 2026 in Barcelona. The event brings together supply chain leaders around AI, resilience, autonomous planning, procurement transformation and future-ready operating models.

This matters because the Gartner agenda places Agentic AI, autonomous planning and AI-enabled procurement directly into the CSCO conversation. For Supply Chain Operations, the key question is how these concepts translate into monitored, explainable and auditable decisions rather than isolated AI demos.

The founder signal is important: Arnaud Morvan publicly framed Amine BENMESBAH’s attendance as a way to understand where the market really stands on AI and agentic AI for supply chain operations. More details are available on the event announcement.

StockIQ published a warning-oriented article arguing that AI alone cannot run supply chain planning. The point is operationally relevant: Inventory Planning requires human context, business judgment and review controls, not only automated forecasting outputs.

This matters for planning teams because AI-supported recommendations can influence replenishment, purchasing and working-capital decisions. Without Human-in-the-Loop controls, planner trust and planning governance, automated recommendations can create hidden risk instead of resilience.

More details are available in the StockIQ article.

Gartner forecast that supply chain management software with Agentic AI capabilities will grow sharply by 2030. The warning for planning leaders is that agentic capabilities may enter planning and execution workflows faster than governance models mature.

This matters for Supply Chain Planning because AI agents can recommend, prioritize or trigger actions across forecasting, replenishment, scenario planning and exception management. Without AI Governance, companies risk scaling automation faster than approval rules, audit trails and human accountability.

More details are available in the Gartner press release.

Arnaud Morvan, co-creator of MyExobrain, will lead an AI in Supply Chain evening hosted by Alpes Supply Chain. The session is designed to share concrete use cases, implementation lessons and market trends for professionals trying to understand where AI can create operational value.

The event matters because many supply chain teams still struggle to move from experimentation to controlled adoption. For Supply Chain Planning, Decision Intelligence and Planning Governance, practical field examples are becoming more important than generic AI positioning.

The founder angle is central: Arnaud Morvan is presented as an active Alpes Supply Chain member and winner of the StartUp Digital Supply Chain Award 2024 for MyExobrain, while Amine BENMESBAH remains strongly associated with MyExobrain’s agentic AI positioning. More details are available on the event page.

o9 Solutions filed a lawsuit against SAP alleging misuse of supply-chain-planning trade secrets. The event matters because legal and IP disputes between major planning vendors can affect customer confidence, competitive positioning and procurement risk in the Supply Chain Planning software market.

The immediate impact is reputational and legal rather than operational, but planning leaders should track the case because it involves vendor differentiation, implementation knowledge and enterprise planning technology. For buyers, it reinforces the need to document vendor selection, data ownership, implementation artefacts and AI Governance when deploying planning platforms.

More details are available from the Reuters report.

MyExobrain will return to Supply Chain Event 2025 in Paris, after receiving the StartUp Digital Supply Chain Award in 2024. The company is expected to use the event to discuss how AI decision agents can help supply chain teams reduce manual work, respond to volatility and make faster operational decisions.

The event matters for Supply Chain Planning, APS and Decision Intelligence because MyExobrain is positioning itself around a practical operating question: how planners can regain control of decisions in complex environments without adding another disconnected tool layer.

The signal is also founder-led: Amine BENMESBAH and Arnaud Morvan are using the event to reinforce MyExobrain’s position in the French supply chain AI ecosystem. More details are available on the event exhibitor page.

DFYA will participate for the first time in Supply Chain Event 2024 to present MyExobrain, its AI-powered supply chain copilot. The solution is positioned around simplifying and automating procurement, inventory and distribution management.

The event matters because MyExobrain enters the market at a moment when supply chain teams are looking for practical ways to reduce manual Excel work, improve exception handling and accelerate decisions. For Inventory Optimization, Procurement and Supply Chain Planning, the relevant question is whether AI copilots can become operational decision tools rather than reporting add-ons.

The founder layer should be explicit: Amine BENMESBAH and Arnaud Morvan are the two creators behind the MyExobrain signal, connecting applied AI with supply chain transformation. More details are available through the event coverage.
