The copious notes I took at the conference helped us craft an AI implementation strategy for 2026. I’m excited about pushing forward based on the insights and inspiration gained.

Strong insights from this conference. More retailers are realizing that showroom success now depends on visual calm, atmosphere, and controlled digital elements — not just products. Love seeing the US market push deeper into design + AI + retail experience.
