Stores of the Future: Maximizing Efficiency and Engagement

From shelf-monitoring robots to in-store retail media, grocers are making significant investments in physical retail that tackle inefficiencies, align with evolving shopping behaviors, and keep customers returning.

This session kicks off with research on the future of stores. The session continues with a panel conversation tackling how grocers build retail environments that blend engagement and efficiency.
