Welcome to Retail’s Gen AI Summit Series 2026

Nora’s Retail Gen AI Summit is a six-monthly gathering of retail leaders focused on one thing: sharing what actually works.

As AI moves from experimentation to everyday operations, the biggest competitive advantage is no longer access to the technology…it’s access to real-world learning. This Summit brings together retailers to openly share practical use cases, lessons learned, measurable outcomes, and the challenges that don’t often make the headlines.

Each summit features candid conversations, live case studies, emerging innovations, and honest reflections from leaders who are actively implementing Gen AI across their organisations - from customer experience and merchandising to operations, marketing, supply chain, and corporate functions.

Whether you’re scaling successful initiatives or just beginning your AI journey, you’ll leave with practical ideas, meaningful connections, and insights you can apply immediately.

Discussion dynamics will be centred on

The 360 degree Gen AI industry review:
Assessment of pilot schemes and new initiatives

The 2025 shift into hyper personalised engagement,
CX, loyalty and communications

The Gen AI infused supply chain -
gearing up to compete in an uncompromising landscape

The 2030 consumer lens
A creative lens meeting future customer expectations

Technologies forging growth -
the critical 18 month path ahead and the adoption priorities

Leading an open Gen AI culture
