Who should attend?

The Experience
How many people attend?
The AI Forum is intentionally small and closed-door — this is not a large expo-hall event. There will be approximately 150 senior retail executives in attendance.
What's the format — keynotes, workshops, panels?
A mix of keynotes, tactical workshops, and candid panel conversations built around real case studies rather than theory.
Where can I find the full agenda?
Our agenda is here.
Will session content be available after the event?
No — sessions are not recorded, and content is not made available afterward. The AI Forum is a live, in-room experience only.
