Running stores in 2026 isn’t getting any easier.



Customer expectations keep climbing, teams are stretched, and the pressure to lift performance store by store has never been higher.

AI is quickly becoming one of the biggest opportunities for retailers to transform frontline operations—helping teams make better decisions, execute faster, improve communication, and unlock new levels of productivity.

The Retail Excellence Tour brings together retail leaders to explore how AI is reshaping store operations, alongside real-world customer stories and practical strategies for driving operational excellence.

Join us in Cape Town on Wednesday 16 September to hear directly from Woolworths, discover how leading retailers are putting AI into practice, and exchange ideas with peers tackling many of the same operational challenges.

You’ll leave with practical insights, fresh inspiration, and a clearer view of how AI can help elevate retail performance across your organisation.
