Retail Planning Is Becoming Autonomous. Will the ROI Follow?
Monday, 30 March 2026
12:00 p.m. PT, 3:00 p.m. ET
This is not a product pitch. It’s a live executive conversation on how retailers can turn AI from an experiment into a provable ROI engine—using retail planning as the proof point.
AI in Retail Is Everywhere.
ROI Is Not.
Retailers have invested millions in data platforms, machine learning, and now generative and agentic AI.
Yet one question dominates every boardroom:
“Where is the return?”
In this live, executive-level fireside chat, leaders from Databricks and Algonomy, joined by one of Asia’s most respected retail CIOs, will explore what changes when AI stops being an experiment and becomes the operating system for retail planning. This is a conversation about moving from possibility to performance.
From innovation to impact. From AI to ROI.
