Innovation Session
AI at work in retail commerce
AI is everywhere, but where is it actually delivering results in retail commerce? In this candid panel discussion, you’ll hear directly from leaders at the forefront of AI adoption in commerce, category management, and media while enjoying a complimentary 3-course lunch!

We’ll move past the hype to explore real-world use cases that are making an impact today, from sales forecasting and search optimization to retail media bidding and programmatic expansion. Panelists will share where they see opportunity integrating AI into day-to-day workflows, where they’ve encountered friction, and what they’ve learned from their initial initiatives.
