Whether it’s Generative AI, traditional AI, or Machine Learning, the challenge lies not just in adopting these technologies, but in preparing an organisation’s data infrastructure to fully harness its potential. 

Ahead of our Biannual Technology Leaders Meeting in October we have designed an exclusive pre -breakfast that will support our community of senior strategists in IT and Technology in overcoming data conundrums and drive successful AI integration.

In partnership with Rackspace Technology and Microsoft, this intimate gathering will provide a platform for deep dives into the following key topics:

• Breaking Down Data Silos: How can retailers develop a cohesive data strategy and governance framework to unify fragmented systems? What role does a central data lake play in achieving a single version of the truth?

• AI-Driven Transformation: How can AI be effectively utilised to enhance customer-centric decisions, optimise demand planning, and improve task management?

• Data Strategy & Culture: What strategies can be employed to shift company mindset towards data-driven decision-making? How can data be leveraged beyond reporting to drive in-store efficiencies and better supply chain planning?

• Ethical AI Deployment: As AI adoption accelerates, how can organisations balance innovation with ethical considerations and regulatory compliance?

• Measuring Impact: What are the best practices for evaluating the ROI and long-term impact of AI investments in retail?

This roundtable is a unique opportunity for peer-to-peer learning and strategic foresight. Under the Chatham House Rule, all discussions will be open, candid, and confidential, ensuring a rich exchange of ideas and experiences.

Closed doors, Open minds, Chatham House Rules applies.
