AI IN RETAIL
Moving from Experimentation to Autonomous Retail
The UK’s leading event for senior retail leaders focused on operationalising AI at scale - from the creators of London Tech Week
What Is AI in Retail and Why Now?
In 2025, at AI in Retail, retailers focused on moving from hype to ROI.

Retail is entering a critical AI inflection point. Leaders are now deploying AI agents across customer journeys and operations, embedding real-time decision-making into stores and supply chains, and using AI to replace workflows rather than simply enhance them.
