Through masterclasses, executive interviews, and live demonstrations, aim10x Digital will explore how enterprises are strengthening governance, improving cycle-over-cycle performance through post-game analysis, scaling scenario-based decision-making, and building more synchronized commercial, supply, and financial planning models.

“Planning is shifting from static forecasting to structured decision systems that improve with every cycle,” said Chakri Gottemukkala, Co-founder and CEO of o9. “The companies speaking at aim10x Digital are showing what that shift looks like in practice. From touchless planning and automated replenishment to unified planning foundations, the focus is on building operating models that enable faster and more aligned decisions across commercial, supply, and finance functions.”

aim10x Digital 2026 will address eight critical planning challenges, including agility, resilience, connected data and IT, post-game analysis, adaptive inventory management, and top-line growth enablement.
