Chandler Williams, Head of Solutions & Customer Success, PAXAFE

Ivan Castro Head of Marketing, PAXAFE

Forget another panel discussion. This session opens with a live, high-stakes investigation: a temperature-sensitive shipment has landed, the clock is running, and you and your table have to answer two questions before time's up — was it late, and can it be released? Working the investigation, you'll chase evidence across logistics, quality, and transportation systems exactly the way cold chain teams do today, and feel firsthand why "we have a control tower" doesn't automatically mean "we have an answer."

Then Alnylam's Jeff Axline and PAXAFE's Chandler Williams walk you through what that exercise exposes, and what Alnylam is actually doing about it: a real, three-phase roadmap — from visibility, to a trusted system of record, to a 2028 vision of exception-based, auto-released quality decisions — grounded in the same fragmentation, latency, and missing-context problems you just lived through. 

It's an unusually candid look at how one of the industry's most demanding cold chain shippers is thinking past the control tower toward genuinely autonomous, agentic supply chain decisions. If you're responsible for shipment visibility, quality release, or compliance at scale, this is the session where you'll see the next five years of that work mapped out.
