About

In this twelfth edition, we’ll explore the AI-powered autonomous parcel journey from depot to doorstep. Together, we’ll trace the path of a fully automated last-mile delivery system combining AI-driven route design and agentic dispatching by our Better Planner team with Neolix’s autonomous delivery vehicles for the final stretch.

Our goal is to reveal the reality behind the hype with real-world use cases, technical challenges, and lessons learned from implementation. Expect honest conversations, live demonstrations, and a comprehensive overview of how automation and intelligence are reshaping parcel logistics and the future of last-mile delivery.
