WHAT ATTENDEES HAD TO SAY

“I found the fireside chat on AI discovery very interesting to see what other retailers were doing. As a transformation manager, I’m always conscious that the problems and challenges we face at River Island aren’t that unique and seeing how other companies tackle these do help inspire the solutions we adopt.”
Peter Cheung, Transformation Manager, River Island
