This year, Marshall has taken over the program full-time, allowing Jason to focus his attention elsewhere (hello, AI!). AI has touched nearly every Connected Peers forum in 2026. While many distributors are cautiously experimenting with using AI for marketing and low-stakes planning, Marshall notes that some forum members are getting more curious about the tech and bringing their cohorts along. Recent discussions include: How do we utilize AI inside our WMS? How do we integrate AI agents into our customer service protocol? Which AI-driven packages are best for bolting onto the ERPs we already use?
