Event Will Spotlight Practical AI, Real-Time Orchestration, and Measurable Business Outcomes
ORTEC, a global provider of end-to-end supply chain optimization solutions purpose-built for manufacturers, retailers, and distributors, announced it will bring together customers, prospects, and partners for OPTIMUS 2026, taking place March 17–19 in Atlanta. Guided by the theme “Inspire, Innovate, Elevate,” the conference will highlight ORTEC’s continued focus on intelligent decision-making and innovation that results in tangible business value—grounded in adoption, change management, and long-term partnership.
Throughout the three-day event, ORTEC Americas and its global leadership teams will share product direction, innovation roadmaps, and real-world customer success stories, while engaging participants in workshops focused on execution, analytics, and measurable outcomes.
“OPTIMUS 2026 reflects ORTEC’s mission to turn operational complexity into clarity and confident flow,” said George Ninikas, SVP of Sales and Accounts. “Optimization today isn’t about isolated planning gains; it’s about enabling better, fairer decisions across the entire operation. OPTIMUS brings together customers and partners to move from static plans to adaptive, AI-enabled decision-making that performs reliably in the real world and supports the people who depend on it every day.”
OPTIMUS 2026 will feature keynote presentations from customer DHL and partner Microsoft, offering innovative perspectives on how global organizations are applying advanced analytics, AI, and cloud technologies to build more resilient, customer-centric supply chains. The keynotes will set the stage for broader discussions on the evolving role of AI in decision making, the future of final mile execution, and the importance of data-driven orchestration at scale. Highlights will also include an AI-focused fireside chat and presentations from ORTEC customers including National DCP and Mohawk Industries.
The agenda will also feature solution-focused breakouts and workshops led by ORTEC experts and partners. These sessions will explore topics such as routing and loading optimization, workforce and capacity planning, inventory decision making, and final mile execution – all designed to help organizations elevate performance through real-world implementation and verifiable impact.
Across all sessions, a consistent message will be emphasized: technology alone is not enough. Long-term success depends on aligning optimization engines with clear operational intent, clean and connected data, and teams empowered to act on insights in real time.
Ninikas added, “OPTIMUS is not just about innovation, but about delivering calm, measurable value in daily operations. It reinforces ORTEC’s commitment to being a trusted long-term partner, enabling organizations to adopt change with confidence, reduce friction as complexity evolves, and realize lasting value from their optimization investments.”
