Retailers have experimented with AI for years. What has changed is the urgency. Leaders are now moving from curiosity to active sourcing. What’s driving the acceleration? 🔵 Consumer behavior is shifting. AI-powered discovery and chatbots are influencing purchases, and Salesforce attributes $14B in global Black Friday sales to AI. 🔵 Retail operations teams are adopting AI to work smarter, automate routine tasks, and modernize long-standing processes. 🔵 Marketing is being rebuilt as brands personalize creative and content at scale without adding heavy headcount. Whether you’re ready to source solutions or exploring what AI could unlock, Shoptalk Spring 2026 brings together 1,000+ solution providers and startups, including hundreds of AI-powered technologies. Join us in the Meetup program or secure a discounted brand/retailer ticket. Shoptalk Spring is where the most important conversations about AI in retail are happening. https://lnkd.in/eS4QJbPy

What do Victoria’s Secret & Co., Macy's & Wayfair have in common? They all nailed Q3 earnings—𝙖𝙣𝙙 their leaders will be keynotes at Shoptalk. 🎤 Deciding who to feature on our main stage isn't easy. Our content team looks for companies that: ➡️ Demonstrate unique strategies or approaches ➡️ Have made the news for their innovation and/or performance ➡️ Are open to discussing their initiatives in a way that will engage the audience ➡️ Represent a range of categories to give attendees different perspectives on the industry We have many other keynotes planned, too—our roster of speakers is constantly being updated. But it'll be worth it alone to hear insights from Hillary Super (CEO of Victoria's Secret), Niraj Shah (Co-Founder and CEO of Wayfair), and both Barbie Cameron (Chief Stores Officer at Macy's) and Max Magni (Chief Customer & Digital Officer at Macy's). During a time when the macroeconomic environment has been anything but certain, come hear how these retailers are developing strategies and tactics to succeed. And the other keynotes? If tech innovation, social, and marketing are up your alley, for example, be sure to get a seat early for the keynote by Head of Global Business at Meta, Nicola Mendelsohn CBE. Shout-out to our Shoptalk Spring content team including Joe Laszlo HG O'Connell Emily Casey and Ben Miller for their work on the agenda and already assembling such a stellar list of speakers. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟰-𝟮𝟲, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘀 𝗩𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘀. Hope to see you there! ✈️

Retail alone is no longer enough in the world’s busiest cities. Stores like Rituals (B Corp™) are increasingly blending retail and hospitality to create experiences unique to their brands and the consumer. Shoptalk Europe got a behind-the-scenes look at how Rituals is bringing true retail hospitality to the hustle-and-bustle of Oxford Street with their Mind Oasis concept. We met with Couro Seck, Head of Concept, Mind Oasis and Richard Lems, Executive Director Format & Design who told us how their newest store was designed to ensure a seamless customer experience. From redesigning the space to deploying in-store tech they have created a dynamic customer experience that doesn’t detract from the calming atmosphere Rituals is known for. Couro also gave some insight into why they pick the busiest cities in Europe to open the Mind Oasis experience. Keep watching to find out why.
