Supply chain leaders convene at Tecsys User Conference 2026 to address geopolitical risk, AI and operational resilience

Tecsys Inc., an industry-leading supply chain management company, announced its keynote speaker and agenda for the annual Tecsys User Conference (TUC), taking place from May 31-June 3, 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee.

As organizations face mounting geopolitical uncertainty, regulatory pressure and operational complexity across global supply chains, the conference brings together leaders from organizations including Nissan, Texas Children’s Hospital, St. Luke’s and Kirby Risk to share how they are responding. Sessions will examine how supply chain teams are reshoring and diversifying supply, building resilience against disruption, deploying AI in regulated environments, and maintaining continuity in the face of labor constraints, volatility and risk.

This year’s conference will feature keynote speaker Rodger Baker, Senior Geopolitical Analyst with Periplous and the Executive Director of the Stratfor Center for Applied Geopolitics at RANE. His session, “Geopolitics in Action: Understanding the World to Navigate It,” will examine how escalating geopolitical and economic pressures are reshaping sourcing strategies and investment decisions.

The agenda also features supply chain leaders at the forefront of navigating real-world complexity and transforming supply chain operations across healthcare systems, distribution networks and warehouses, including:

  • Tecsys executives sharing a bold vision for the future of supply chains and the real‑world role of AI,
  • Customer and partner presentations from Prisma Health, Werner Electric, Intermountain Health and others on scaling resilience, deploying AI and modernizing operations in highly constrained environments,
  • Insights from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Advent Health, leaders in the Gartner Top 25 Healthcare Supply Chains,
  • Behind-the-scenes VIP tours at Nissan and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and
  • Hands-on workshops on agentic AI, AI governance, autonomous robotics and warehouse transformation.

"The supply chain is the heartbeat of modern operations and a critical driver of performance and resilience, especially as geopolitical and economic pressures intensify,” said Peter Brereton, president and CEO of Tecsys. “For decades, we have worked with organizations in high-stakes environments to manage complexity behind the scenes. Our user conference brings those leaders together at a moment when supply chain performance matters more than ever.”

TUC 2026 is supported by Platinum and Gold sponsors Amazon Web Services, Payroc, Avalon, Scanmodul and Terso Solutions.
