EVENT
Defining the Next Era of Intelligent Commerce
About The Event
The NexGen Retail Summit is a high-impact summit focused on how AI, automation, and data intelligence are redefining modern retail operations.
Â
With retailers losing an estimated $1.1 trillion annually due to supply chain inefficiencies and leading enterprises achieving up to 30% cost reduction through AI-driven forecasting, the urgency for transformation is accelerating across Europe.
This summit explores how retail is evolving across key areas:
- Agentic and autonomous commerce systems redefining product ownership and shopper interaction
- AI-powered supply chain transformation from predictive forecasting to fully autonomous replenishment
- Payments and checkout as real-time decision systems balancing fraud prevention with conversion
- Retail media as a major revenue engine turning first-party data into a profit centre
- AI-driven product discovery and shifting consumer behaviour in 2026
- Demand forecasting and category AI tackling Europe’s €30 billion overstocking problem
- Unified commerce and in-store experience bridging the gap between omnichannel ambition and operational reality
- CX and hyper-personalisation rethinking loyalty in a market where consumers feel surveilled not understood
- Sustainability and EU regulation including PPWR, AI Act and DSA shaping what gets built, blocked and watched
Across two days, leaders will examine how retail is moving from fragmented operations to fully connected, intelligent ecosystems — and confront the hard questions about what is actually working versus what remains industry hype.
