Running a retail operation has become a more complex undertaking as executives must react to multiple disruptions at the same time. Market volatility, tariff shifts, changing consumer behavior, inventory pressure and margin erosion are happening simultaneously, forcing brands and retailers to make faster, more strategic decisions across their businesses.

At the center of this transformation is artificial intelligence. Far from a future concept, AI is a real-time business capability reshaping how assortments are planned, demand is forecasted, product performance is evaluated and market shifts are addressed.

Yet AI alone is not enough. Connected data, aligned teams and visibility across the product lifecycle are now essential to turning insight into action. This executive conversation will explore the forces redefining modern retail and how leading organizations are building more agile, intelligent and connected operating models to drive sales and boost margins. Discover how retailers are approaching complexity across planning, merchandising, pricing, sourcing and inventory management and why connected decision-making is becoming essential for profitable growth.

Join us for a forward-looking conversation on the technologies, strategies and market shifts shaping the future of retail.
