I’ve been thinking about how to describe Manifest this year, and the only way I can really put it is this: it felt less AI centric and more operational clarity.
Last year the energy was heavily AI-driven, predictive, generative, self-operating, autonomous. And that made sense. AI was still relatively new in logistics, and there was a real sense of curiosity around what it could become. There was excitement in the room. But many of those conversations were still conceptual. The vision was big, but the operational substance wasn’t quite fully formed yet.
AI was still there this year. Of course it was. And some companies are absolutely building toward workforce reduction. That’s real, and pretending it isn’t would be naive. But the dominant tone in the conversations I was having wasn’t “we’re replacing people.” It was much more grounded. It was about removing friction, increasing access and simplifying workflows.
