This year’s agenda goes deep on the three forces reshaping everyday retail across every channel and every market: AI, retail media and the new shopper mindset.
Build Your 2027 Strategy in 36 Hours
Everyone in everyday retail is under the same three pressures: economic, behavioral and technological. Whether you sell from a supermarket, a club box, a c-store cooler, a drug aisle, a dollar shelf or a digital marketplace, anywhere in the world, the operating model is changing on you in real time. Groceryshop 2026 is built around the decisions you have to make next quarter, not the ones every keynote talks about.
The 2026 Themes Reshaping Everyday Retail
- How do I develop AI-powered and agentic shopping experiences for the way shoppers actually buy now?
- Which AI tools are actually changing how teams run store operations, ecommerce, marketing and supply chain right now?
- How do I build the data foundation and architecture that unlocks AI across every channel I sell in?
- How do I bring AI into the team without breaking what already works?
- How do physical stores across every format, from grocery to drug to c-store, become inventory for retail media?
- How do I unify retail media, merchandising, brand and commercial teams around one P&L?
- How do I build retail media measurement that brand advertisers actually trust?
- How do I rewrite my retail media strategy for the cross-channel shopper journey, not the supermarket-only one?
- How do I deliver value to a shopper who can compare price across grocery, mass, club, drug, dollar and digital in two taps?
- How do I profitably meet shopper demand for convenience and online trips, whether the order ships from a store, a dark store, a fulfillment center or a club?
- How should my assortment, product and marketing strategy adapt to GLP-1, plant-forward and the rest of the dietary shift?
- How do I engage shoppers as discovery moves from the aisle to the algorithm?
