Opening Keynote from Mary Wallace Under the Pvcement, The Beach!
We need a revolution in the customer experience of data.Your customer experience of a product, service or place is dependent on the ‘data capital’ you have accumulated – or not – and how the ‘gatekeeper’ recognises you. But this goes beyond just products and services: We will explore how your ‘data capital’ affects every aspect of your lived experience of a city, a journey and as a citizen – and ask “What needs to change and why?”

Retail Workplace Cultures That Win in the Era of Automation and AI by Marc Janoff, Senior Consultant at Gallup
With automation and AI as an inevitable part of the retail landscape, how can leaders and managers assemble an agile culture that leverages the advantages of automation and AI?

 

Intellectual Property and AI in the Retail Sector by Karl Barnfather, Chairman and Patent Attorney at Withers & Rogers LLP
Many aspects of AI development in the retail sector are protectable in law through Intellectual Property (IP) rights. The presentation will provide details of appropriate IP rights in the retail and customer data sectors, and what developers should do to ensure their right do not slip through the net into becoming freely available to competitors. A practical approach will be provided to assist companies in identifying their rights, understanding the limits of the protection available and developing an IP strategy which is complementary to their business objectives.

 

The event is a great opportunity to also network during the coffee and lunch breaks, plus we have our sponsor ThoughtSpot and partner Affiniti showcasing their latest technologies.
