Customers want to move beyond search and straight to solutions. They want solutions. Agentic Commerce delivers on that expectation by creating a shopping experience where AI anticipates needs, curates the perfect options, and acts on the customer’s behalf. For retailers, the question isn’t whether to embrace this shift but it’s how quickly they can make it real. Join us as we unpack the blueprint built to accelerate your path into Agentic Commerce. We’ll break down the core capabilities required to design autonomous, hyper‑personalized customer journeys and explore why Product Metadata serves as the “nervous system” that powers it all. You’ll learn how to transform static product attributes into dynamic, conversational, and AI‑ready metadata that boosts conversion, lifts engagement, and builds lasting loyalty.

This session is only open to retailers and consumer goods manufacturers.

Retail leaders are under pressure to deliver hyper-personalized experiences, resilient supply chains, and faster decision-making, all while controlling costs and maintaining customer trust. The challenge isn’t a lack of AI ambition, it’s that most retail data environments were never designed to support AI at scale. This session will explore how leading retailers are breaking through these constraints by adopting a true hybrid strategy—bringing AI to the data, wherever it lives. Attendees will see how unifying historical and real-time data enables measurable business impact, like a 20-30 percent increase in customer lifetime value through real-time personalization. As retailers enter the next chapter of data-driven growth, the real bottleneck isn’t the model, it’s the data foundation behind it.

This session is only open to retailers and consumer goods manufacturers.

Traditional analytics have helped organizations optimize things like forecasts, pricing, and operational efficiency, but in a world of persistent uncertainty, optimizing inputs is no longer enough. This session will explore how analytics has evolved into agentic decision intelligence, which structures, orchestrates, and continuously improves decisions by combining human expertise, analytics, and AI agents to supercharge business outcomes. For 30 years, analytics optimized variables. The next decade will optimize decisions. And the winners won’t just have better models--they’ll have better decisioning systems.

This session is only open to retailers and consumer goods manufacturers.

AI has dominated headlines and boardroom conversations, but for most companies, the path from experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption remains elusive. Some leaders are already realizing ROI through optimized supply chains, sharper demand forecasts and more personalized customer engagement, while others are still stuck in pilot mode. In this session, retailers and manufacturers who have successfully scaled AI to deliver measurable business value will share insight on what it takes to move beyond proofs of concept and key pitfalls to avoid.

Retail and consumer goods organizations are operating in an age of both pressure and possibility. The past few years have tested every system, supply chain and strategy, and revealed which companies can turn disruption into advantage. Those that are thriving aren’t just analyzing data; they’re activating it to make sharper decisions and unlock growth opportunities. In this session, senior leaders will explore how data, AI and analytics are converging to redefine what’s possible for retail and CPG enterprises.

Consumer goods leaders are facing a paradox: unprecedented volatility and unprecedented opportunity. Inflationary pressures, shifting consumer behaviors and supply chain disruptions demand sharper, faster decisions, while AI and new data architectures are opening doors to growth that once seemed out of reach. This session will explore how CPG leaders are navigating this complex environment to build smarter operations and more resilient organizations.

As automation, AI agents and intelligent platforms take on tasks previously managed by people, retail and CPG companies are redefining what productivity and performance look like. But introducing autonomous workers–whether digital or robotic–requires new frameworks for measurement. Efficiency gains are only part of the story; leaders must also evaluate how this new autonomy impacts employee roles and customer experience. Join this session to examine how leaders are building the right metrics, governance models and cultural approaches to deliver tangible business value.

Legacy supply chain systems were built for predictability, not today's constant disruption. This session examines how real-time digital twins and enterprise AI are reshaping planning and execution by enabling continuous, intelligent decision-making across production, inventory and logistics. It will also explore how human teams and AI agents can work together in agentic workflows that combine machine speed with human judgement. Attendees will walk away understanding how AI agents deliver transparent, explainable insights that augment human judgement---helping organizations evolve from manual intervention toward true operational autonomy. 

As brands race to understand what agentic AI really means, few have bridged the gap between potential and practice. In this session, experts will reveal how retail and CPG organizations can build the foundation for an “agentic enterprise,” where intelligent systems work across silos to sense, decide and act autonomously on behalf of the business.

Retail and consumer goods companies are operating in a world where volatility is the norm. Fluctuating demand and global disruptions have forced linear supply chains out of favor. The new frontier is AI-enabled and autonomous supply chains that can predict and respond in real time, making decisions with a speed manual systems can’t match. Panelists in this session will share how these advanced technologies are reducing supply chain risk, improving efficiency and unlocking growth in uncertain times.

The foundation of every successful analytics initiative is a strong, adaptable data strategy, but many organizations are still navigating a maze of disconnected systems, legacy mindsets and competing priorities. In today’s environment, where speed, trust, and interoperability define competitive advantage, it’s time to rethink what a modern data strategy should really achieve. This session brings together senior retail and consumer goods leaders who have redefined their data foundations to enable smarter decisions and measurable impact. From breaking down silos to building unified data ecosystems, we'll explore how they’ve turned data strategy from a static plan into a living framework that fuels innovation, efficiency and growth.

As automation increasingly runs the core of retail and consumer goods operations, the next frontier isn’t smarter machines; it’s smarter leadership. We'll close out Analytics Unite by exploring how a visionary leader is combining human creativity, contextual understanding, and ethical judgment with machine precision and scale. Learn how they’re reshaping teams, rethinking KPIs, and cultivating cultures that keep people at the center of progress, even as agentic systems are poised to take on more responsibility.
