      <title>VIC: Real ROI: A Practical Conversation on AI in Supply Chain. 8 October 2026 (08 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://info.sclaa.com.au/resources/Pictures/26-10-08VIC%20TILE.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 28px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 22px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REAL ROI:&amp;nbsp; A PRACTICAL CONVERSATION ON AI IN SUPPLY CHAIN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Expectations for AI in the supply chain run high, yet there is little clarity about what the successful projects did differently. Four panellists from Australian manufacturing and IT solutions providers discuss data challenges, trust and security, practical tools, and governance — and where AI genuinely pays off. Networking with industry practitioners and light refreshments follow the panel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Date:&amp;nbsp; Thursday 8 October 2026&lt;br&gt;
Time:&amp;nbsp; 6.00pm - 8.30pm (AEST)&lt;br&gt;
Venue:&amp;nbsp; Minerva Partners, Level 18, Suite 1/60 Albert Road, South Melbourne&lt;br&gt;
Cost:&amp;nbsp; Members - $15&amp;nbsp; /&amp;nbsp; Non-Members - $30&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registrations close at COB on Tuesday, 6 October 2026&lt;br&gt;
LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABOUT THIS EVENT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;This ASCLA thought leadership event brings together four panellists from Australian manufacturing and IT solutions providers for a candid, jargon-free discussion about what works.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;The panel covers four areas that commonly derail AI initiatives: AI awareness and data challenges, where information sits trapped across disconnected applications; trust, security and uptake, including hallucination risk, data privacy and workforce resistance; practical AI tools already in use for writing, meetings and customer support; and data risks and governance, covering ownership, accountability and review cadence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Attendees will leave with a clearer view of where AI genuinely pays off, how to map risk tiers before shortlisting solutions, and what to ask before committing budget. Networking with industry practitioners follows, with light refreshments provided.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRESENTERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Webinar: From Peak Pressure to Peak Performance. 14 October 2026 (14 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://info.sclaa.com.au/resources/Pictures/26-10-14%20Argon%20Webinar%20TILE%20700px.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 29px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#45B559"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;FROM PEAK PRESSURE TO PEAK PERFORMANCE:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;Practical Strategies for Retail Intralogistics.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Retail peak is won before the rush. Learn how intralogistics, planning, inventory, labour and performance management can improve fulfilment, service and resilience.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Date:&amp;nbsp; Wednesday, 14 October 2026&lt;br&gt;
  Time:&amp;nbsp; 10.00am - 10.45am (AEST)&lt;br&gt;
  Venue:&amp;nbsp; Online&lt;br&gt;
  Cost:&amp;nbsp; No charge&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registrations close at COB on Tuesday, 13 October.&lt;br&gt;
LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABOUT THIS EVENT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Peak periods expose the strengths and weaknesses of a retail supply chain. As order volumes, SKU complexity and customer expectations rise, retailers need more than extra labour or last-minute firefighting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;This webinar brings together experienced retail and logistics leaders to explore how intralogistics, warehouse processes and operational discipline can work together to deliver a reliable peak. We will discuss practical approaches to demand and capacity planning, inventory positioning, slotting, labour and shift planning, flow optimisation, automation and real-time performance management.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;The session will focus on actions that can be taken before the next peak, whether you operate a manual facility, a highly automated distribution centre, an omnichannel network or a 3PL model. Attendees will leave with a practical peak-readiness checklist and ideas for improving service, productivity and resilience without defaulting to major capital investment.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRESENTERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Bacon and Egg Breakfast Rolls &amp; Better Dock Bookings. Port of Melbourne. 28 October 2026. (28 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://info.sclaa.com.au/resources/Pictures/26-10-28%20Mobiledock%20F2F%20TILE%202-c.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;VIC: BACON AND EGG BREAKFAST ROLLS &amp;amp; BETTER DOCKING BOOKINGS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Customers, carriers &amp;amp; suppliers — join Mobiledock for an egg &amp;amp; bacon breakfast roll at Port of Melbourne. Eat, network, and tell us what makes freight scheduling easier or harder.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#000000" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date&lt;/strong&gt;: Wednesday, 28 October 2026&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Time&lt;/strong&gt;: 07.00am - 10.00am&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Venue&lt;/strong&gt;: Port of Melbourne Education Centre, 339-343 Lorimer Street,&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Cost&lt;/strong&gt;: Members - No charge / Non-Members - $20&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p style="line-height: 17px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Registrations close at COB on Monday, 26 Oct&lt;/font&gt;ober 2026&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABOUT THIS EVENT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Customers, Carriers &amp;amp; Suppliers — On the Docks&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Join the Mobiledock team for an egg and bacon breakfast roll at the Port of Melbourne, alongside customers, carriers and suppliers from across the network. Come for the food, stay for a candid chat about what makes freight scheduling easier — or harder — day to day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;For years, scheduling improvements have mostly focused on the customer side of the booking screen. This morning we widen the lens: getting freight in and out on time depends just as much on the carriers and suppliers living with our system every day as it does on the site running the calendar.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;We want to hear directly from you.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHO SHOULD ATTEND&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;This morning is for anyone whose day is shaped by a dock booking — because so much of what makes freight scheduling work (or not) is created upstream and downstream of the site itself.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;That includes Mobiledock customers, transport carriers and their schedulers, suppliers, and anyone responsible for getting freight in and out on time. Drivers and site-level staff are just as welcome as the operations leaders who shape the booking rules.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 17px;" color="#45B559"&gt;&lt;em style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;Registrations&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;All attendees must be registered prior to attending an ASCLA event, including ASCLA partners and guests attending on a complimentary or partner allocation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Registration helps ASCLA maintain accurate attendance records and manage venue capacity, catering and important safety and emergency requirements.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=""&gt;If you are attending under a partner or complimentary allocation, please ensure each attendee completes an individual registration.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong style="font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;If registrations have closed and you would still like to attend, please contact ASCLA before arriving at the event. Please do not attend without prior confirmation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description>

      <title>WEBINAR - No Second Run: Sequencing an order management transformation when stock doesn't come back (28 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://info.sclaa.com.au/resources/Pictures/26-10-28%20Infios%20Webinar%20-%20TILE-r.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 29px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;NO SECOND RUN:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style="font-size: 22px;"&gt;Sequencing an order management transformation when stock doesn't come back&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Should retailers hold inventory in a shopper’s cart? While it improves the customer experience for one buyer, it can reduce opportunities for everyone else when stock is scarce. In this webinar, Camilla’s Head of Technology explores the challenges of inventory reservation and the design decisions that drive fair, effective outcomes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Wednesday, 28 October 2026&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Time:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; 10.00am - 10.45am (AEST)&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Venue:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Online&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Cost:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;No charge&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registrations close at COB on Tuesday, 27 October 2026&lt;br&gt;
LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABOUT THIS EVENT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Camilla sells limited-edition prints in short runs that are never repeated. There is no replenishment and stock depth is shallow, so the standard omnichannel playbook doesn't survive contact: a cart-level stock hold that looks customer-friendly at scale starves other legitimate buyers, and any lag in the inventory picture is a window to sell something irreplaceable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;That constraint dictated the delivery plan. Rather than a cutover, Camilla sequenced its order management replatform around one first outcome — an accurate, available-to-promise picture across web, store and order capture — and named the first release 0.1 rather than Phase 1.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Michael Davis, Head of Technology at Camilla, and Adam Kelly, VP Customer Experience at Infios, cover both halves: what scarce inventory changes about order management design, and how to sequence a live program so it can't strand you halfway.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;For technology and operations executives funding transformation while the business keeps trading.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#45B559" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRESENTERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

He brings progressive career experience as an Omni-Channel Retail Director, with a strong track record in supply chain execution, customer experience strategy and omnichannel retail transformation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Prior to his current role, Adam held leadership positions at enVista and BRP Consulting, and spent several years at Lowe's Companies, Inc., including a tenure as Director, Services Platform.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Adam is known for his strategic thinking on customer intelligence and omnichannel integration, a sharp awareness of macro trends affecting retailers, and a practical, execution-focused approach to turning retail strategy into measurable results.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://info.sclaa.com.au/resources/Pictures/Michael%20Davis_Camilla_Headshot%20-%20r.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="150" height="150" align="left" style="margin: 5px 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#45B559"&gt;Michael Davis&lt;/font&gt; - Head of Technology, Camilla&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

He pairs sharp business strategy with deep commercial and technical insight to drive change across global operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;He's passionate about keeping a customer-centric focus at the core while strengthening performance, service delivery, workforce engagement, and technology, tailoring solutions that add real value for business units and partners alike.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;His track record includes turning profit-declining units into highly engaged, profitable operations, and leading major corporate demergers through technology strategy and negotiation, all grounded in strong commercial judgment and a disciplined, innovative approach.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
