RetailClub AI Festival is the only retail event built on the belief that the world is about to change beyond recognition. We’re bringing together 2,000+ retail and brand leaders, AI operators, and founders who know the comfortable plan isn’t enough. It’s time to move past checkbox AI strategies, incremental thinking, and leaving conferences with the same roadmap you walked in with. This is for the leaders already driving the shift, and the ones who know deep down they need to do more.
You'll find me speaking at multiple sessions:
* You Can't Automate What You Don't Understand: Uncovering Real Efficiencies from AI - Wed 9:25 am
* Debating AI's Future: Cost-Cutting Myths vs Realities - Thurs 2 pm
* Battle of the Retail Podcasters - Retailers, Ask Us Anything! Thurs 2:50 pm

AI is everywhere in supply chain conversations, yet many organizations still apply it to workflows designed decades ago, resulting in incremental gains rather than transformation. This session explores how leaders can redesign work, not simply deploy tools. The first step is automating effort-heavy, exception-driven processes that consume attention and distort decision signals. With that foundation, organizations can move toward AI-enabled and agentic operating models that combine automation with human oversight.
Learn how autonomous systems can sense change, recommend and execute actions, accelerate decision cycles, improve responsiveness, and allow planners to focus on complex decisions where human judgment delivers the greatest value.
