After three years of analyzing and forecasting AI's potential, this year’s Applied AI for Distributors is laser-focused on practical implementation. Distribution leaders have moved past the “what ifs” — now they need to know how to get things done.

The partnership will support HARDI member companies as artificial intelligence becomes more prevalent across the tools, platforms, and processes shaping wholesale distribution.

There’s a tax being levied on your business right now. It doesn’t appear on any financial statement. Your accountant can’t quantify it. But it’s compounding daily, and the rate just increased.

As data centers grow in scale and complexity, PHCP-PVF wholesalers and manufacturers are evolving to meet the intense demands for high-volume chilled water systems, rigorous material traceability, and precision logistics.

While data centers are often marketed as benign "technology campuses," they are industrial-scale operations that place significant stress on power, water, and local infrastructure.

Discover how leading PHCP and HVAC distributors are moving AI from a buzzword to a bottom-line driver by streamlining product discovery, automating customer service, and optimizing complex supply chains.

As AI and high-performance chips push traditional cooling to its limits, discover how hydronic systems and smart monitoring are revolutionizing data center thermal management to ensure future resilience and efficiency.

Joan O’Neil introduces the ICC-AI Navigator, a specialized tool designed to provide engineers with rapid, authoritative code information while eliminating the accuracy risks and "hallucinations" common in mainstream AI platforms.

The framework charts a phased path through 2030, from low-friction pilots to advanced AI, digital twins, and robotics.

The program enables HVAC contractors to deliver retrofit-ready smart building intelligence without the complexity, disruption, or vendor lock-in of traditional automation systems.
