Welcome + Opening Keynote: Algorhythm: Finding Retail’s Rhythm in the Algorithm

Disruption is no longer a moment – it’s the operating environment. Artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping how consumers discover, evaluate, and buy, forcing retail leaders to rethink marketing, pricing, loyalty, and inventory in real time. As AI enables “one-to-X” engagement – deeply personalized experiences delivered at scale – the rules of retail are changing. Static pricing gives way to dynamic models. At the same time, consumer trust is under pressure as pricing, personalization, and value become increasingly opaque. In this always forward-looking session, Mitch Joel will introduce his P.A.C.E. framework to help retail leaders navigate this disruption. Attendees will gain a strategic roadmap to compete in an AI-mediated economy where adaptability, trust, and intelligent systems define competitive advantage.
