The Retail Innovation Conference & Expo agenda was designed to cover a broad spectrum of topics and tech trends shaping the future of connected commerce. Our keynote sessions and seven tracks will give attendees the chance to hear first-hand from industry analysts, futurists and practitioners so they can further shape their strategies in 2023 and beyond.
But not everyone gets inspired or invigorated by a traditional learning format, which is why the content team has diversified the agenda to offer different session styles and learning experiences. Which one of these resonates with you?
