REBUILDING RETAIL: DATA INITIATIVES TO CREATE COMMERCIAL UPLIFT

CDO Retail Exchange 2026 is a closed‑door, practitioner‑led forum where retail data, AI, and digital leaders turn strong foundations into measurable value. Over two focused days, you’ll see how peers have moved beyond migrations and pilots to deliver rapid EBITDA impact - using targeted POCs (from replenishment to fraud reduction and NLP data access), clearer AI governance, and enablement that raises literacy from HQ to store.

You’ll explore what the “death of the dashboard” really means in practice, how teams cut through long use‑case backlogs to identify the few that scale, and why off‑the‑shelf solutions increasingly outperform custom builds for speed, cost, and risk.

This is where hype gives way to working playbooks. Hear from leaders who proved value in weeks, scaled without bloated budgets, and built pragmatic guardrails that actually stick. Learn how they unlocked data‑lite NLP access, automated replenishment, drove adoption through People/HR, and built governance that accelerates rather than slows.

Expect unfiltered case studies on global data‑quality challenges, SAP modernization alongside Snowflake, and the organisational shifts needed to embed AI into everyday workflows. Everything is practical, peer‑tested, and evidence‑based, so you can walk away with 2–3 plays you can adapt, ship within a quarter, defend with metrics, and scale with confidence.
