Retail IT Connect US 2025

Automate, Optimize And Make Customer-Driven Technology Decisions

Senior Retail IT executives are grappling with several converging trends that are impacting their roles. Cybersecurity remains a persistent threat to retail operations, while AI disrupts conventional business processes and gives rise to a new generation of tools and technologies. Macroeconomic pressures compound these challenges through constantly evolving consumer spend patterns and fluctuating company margins, requiring leaders to automate tasks in order to work more efficiently with less staff and resources. And what’s one of the biggest challenges these leaders are facing right now? Data management.

Benchmark your IT tactics with fellow retailers at Retail IT Connect. Meet with handpicked solution experts who can help support your organizational goals, and leave empowered. You’ll learn not just about the latest AI innovations, security and compliance but discuss how to get the most impact out of your technology initiatives.
