  1. Roundtable Meeting Room

    In this exclusive peer-to-peer roundtable, we will delve into the transformative capabilities of AI in retail stores, benefiting customers, colleagues, and operations alike. The session will investigate how Generative AI can provide tailored assistance and experiences, while Agentic AI can independently manage tasks, make decisions, and enhance processes across merchandising, inventory, and customer service.

    This roundtable will concentrate on AI's pivotal role in enhancing merchandising, customer experiences, and operational efficiency through computer vision and event orchestration, as well as the impact of robotic automation on in-store replenishment and fulfilment.

    Places at each roundtable are limited. Please register your interest to secure your seat.

  1. Roundtable Meeting Room

    Since 2014 the UK500 from RetailX has analysed and ranked the performance of UK’s retailers and direct-selling brands.

    For 2026 we have made the data available in an AI-friendly format so that you can interrogate, plot, slice, dice and display the information in a way that suits your commercial needs.

    At the end of this workshop you will have an understanding of the UK500, the performance ranking and the commercial implications, as well as some techniques and experience in hands-on interrogation and enrichment of the data using AI.
