SRS Distribution, in collaboration with InstaLILY AI, announced the upcoming AI Innovation Summit, set to take place at the SRS Distribution Field Support Center in McKinney, Texas, on Sept. 4, 2025. This exclusive, one-day event is dedicated to advancing the conversation around artificial intelligence and its profound impact on the distribution industry.

“AI is reshaping how organizations build technology, generate insights, and run their businesses. What began with automation and RPA has advanced through machine learning, generative AI, and now agentic systems — each step unlocking new possibilities. The AI Innovation Summit is where that future takes shape,” said Cory Gundberg, executive vice president and chief technology officer at SRS Distribution.

The summit will convene a select group of C-suite executives, technologists, and industry leaders to discuss the next phase of AI integration within the enterprise. Attendees will gain insights from a distinguished roster of speakers, including:

• Amit Shah, founder & CEO, InstaLILY AI
• Cory Gundberg, CTO, SRS Distribution
• Patrick Garcia, chief digital, AI and innovation officer, SRS Distribution
• Emanuela Delgado, senior vice president of growth and innovation, Parts Town
• Scott Baker, CEO, National Nail
• Additional thought leaders and innovators from across the supply chain and technology sectors.

The AI Innovation Summit promises to deliver an agenda that combines expert-led discussions with hands-on collaboration. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from leading practitioners who are actively deploying AI solutions that drive measurable results in efficiency, scalability, and profitability.

Attendees can also engage in networking with peers and leading professionals from across the distribution ecosystem, fostering connections that extend beyond the event itself. For those in technical roles, the “Hackathon Track” will provide a practical platform to develop AI-driven solutions, with prizes awarded for exceptional innovations. This unique feature underscores the summit’s commitment to both education and actionable outcomes.
