2026 Agenda

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most talked about and transformative forces in business today, yet for many in the supermarket industry, its true impact remains unclear. How will AI shape the shopper journey? What opportunities—and risks—does it present for retailers?

This session, presented in collaboration with the Coca-Cola Retailing Research Council, will share early findings from a new study on AI in grocery. Attendees will hear directly from council members as they react to initial insights, discuss practical applications, and explore how supermarkets can prepare for the future of AI-driven shopper engagement.

Sponsored by Coca-Cola & Women Grocers Association. 

The session will be followed by the presentation of the Woman of the Year Award sponsored by Shelby Publishing.
