In today’s rapidly evolving trade environment, technology and human judgment are converging to redefine how global deals are made. This special session brings together two leading thinkers from the University of Nebraska Omaha to explore the twin forces shaping the future of international trade — the science of artificial intelligence and the art of global negotiation.
Join us on Thursday, November 20th, for an engaging discussion on how businesses can harness both interpersonal and algorithmic intelligence to navigate complexity, build trust, and achieve win-win outcomes in a data-driven world.

Generative Artificial Intelligence and Its Business Applications
The landscape of Generative AI is evolving rapidly, moving beyond text generation into the era of AI Agents, systems that can reason, act, and collaborate autonomously. These agents are reshaping how businesses operate, offering new opportunities for automation, decision-making, and customer engagement. In this session, we’ll explore what AI Agents truly are, their practical implications across industries, and how organizations can adopt them responsibly and strategically. I’ll share actionable advice on where to start, how to build for value, and what pitfalls to avoid in this next wave of AI transformation.

Winning Across Borders — The Art and Science of Global Negotiations
In an increasingly interconnected world, negotiation is no longer just about striking a deal — it’s about building sustainable relationships across borders, cultures, and expectations. Drawing on extensive global business experience, Dr. Adidam illustrates how cultural intelligence, preparation, and adaptability can make or break international agreements.
“In global trade, success depends not on who speaks the loudest — but on who listens the best.”
