Tech Innovation Summit
This year's NGA Technology Innovation sessions will put the emphasis on accessibility and practicality, with a special emphasis on improving and empowering the customer experience. At a time when consolidation is creating ever-greater competitive pressures on the independent grocer community, it is critical that these retailers have weapons that they can use to give themselves a competitive advantage, playing to their ability to be nimble and responsive with measurable ROI. Our fast-paced discussions will focus on subjects ranging from how store design and technology intersect … empowering consumers with digital tools that include smart carts, recipe generation, and identifying food-as-medicine solutions … finding tech-enabled answers to problems that include food waste and product recalls and returns … and even creating a new "Investing for Innovation" paradigm. Among the companies represented onstage will be Instacart, GroceryShopii, Flashfood, Birdzi, Sifter, Recall InfoLink, Shook Kelley and King retail Solutions. Your moderators: Kevin Coupe, Tom Furphy, & Michael Sansol
