ACHIEVING END-TO-END RETAIL COLLABORATION
Co-produced by RIS News and Retail Leader, the Value Chain Tech event is the first of its kind, designed to bring a community of stakeholders together to discuss how to achieve circular collaboration and grow better - and stronger - together.
Gaining a more complete understanding of the value chain is essential for retailers to pinpoint areas where they can reduce costs, streamline their operations, and work with more cross functional, sustainable networks. Traditionally, retail systems moved in a singular direction: forward. Now more than ever, we must recognize the importance of establishing a fluent ecosystem of value, one in which manufacturers, distributors, internal business units, shoppers, and individuals contribute to and influence outcomes. This three-day event showcases best-in-class ideas and inspiring stories from leaders in the space, featuring panel discussions, inspiring keynote speakers, and opportunities to network with your peers.
A robust tech stack is the nerve center of the value chain. From AI to automation, to last mile and delivery systems, to data-drive marketing efforts, and beyond, tech investments are key to unleashing success, and will remain at the heart of discussions throughout this collaborative three-day event. Value Chain Tech is the space to sketch out the possibilities and lay out a roadmap for putting purpose back into our processes every step of the way.
This event is structured around the four pillars: AGILITY. COLLABORATION. RESILIENCE. SUSTAINABILITY.
The ability to remain agile allows retailers to stay competitive and responsive to market volatility.
