AI is Cheap, Change is Expensive: Manifest Executive Dinner

​Join UP.Labs for an invitation-only executive dinner during Manifest 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada. We're gathering senior leaders across fleet, logistics, carrier, and supply chain organizations for a candid salon-style conversation.

​Most enterprises do not struggle with access to AI technology: they struggle with adoption, execution, and translating pilots into real revenue. This dinner is designed to focus on what it actually takes to make AI work inside large, complex organizations.

​Agenda

​7:00–7:45 PM | Guest Arrivals & Cocktails
Informal mixer with enterprise executives, founders, and investors operating at the intersection of AI and logistics.

​8:00–9:00 PM | Seated Dinner & Executive Salon
A salon-style conversation on where AI has created value, where adoption has stalled, and what leaders would do differently based on firsthand experience.

​9:15–9:30 PM | JB Hunt AI Revenue Story
A candid look at how JB Hunt is generating real revenue with AI, followed by founder perspectives on what’s hard and how they’re solving it.

​Why Attend

​This is not a product demo or sales event. It is a working conversation for leaders who are actively building, funding, or operating AI-enabled businesses. Attendees can expect practical insight into how global enterprises evaluate AI investments, manage change, and capture measurable returns in operational environments.

​If you are focused on building or scaling physical AI programs, then this dinner is designed for you.
