“At Zebra, we’ve been building intelligence into our solutions for decades,” said Tom Bianculli, Chief Technology Officer, Zebra Technologies. “With the advancement of AI, the critical question facing organizations isn’t if they should embrace AI; it’s how they can harness it. Our Frontline AI Summit is a pivotal moment to demonstrate how AI is already transforming the frontline of business. With millions of our devices already in the hands of frontline teams along with modern applications from Zebra Workcloud and our robust ecosystem of independent software vendors (ISVs) delivering value across a wide set of workflows, we’re empowering workers with smarter tools to redefine how work gets done.” 

The Zebra Frontline AI Summit is an exclusive invitation-only event aimed at senior leaders who are focusing on the deployment of AI technologies in frontline operations. It will feature renowned AI thought leaders and Zebra executives who will share real-world use cases on how AI is already impacting some of the most critical workflows across industries. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how AI-powered tools – such as Zebra’s intelligent devices and software – are driving better decision-making, improving efficiency, and addressing labor challenges.
