Five Ways A.I Will—or Won’t—Change Life at Your Lumberyard
The trouble with artificial intelligence for lumberyards is that it’s hard to know which parts of this technology will matter most for dealers, and which should be ignored. Webb Analytics’ Craig Webb has been talking to companies around the world that are offering or using A.I. In this presentation, he’ll bring lofty promises about A.I. down to earth as well as give you a sense of particular opportunities that soon could come your way.

He has worked for The Wall Street Journal, McGraw-Hill, United Press International and a variety of magazines, newsletters and newspapers in the U.S. and Europe.
