AI in retail isn’t new.

But real conversations about what actually works? That’s where things get interesting.

Last year Future of Retail hosted an AI-focused meet-up that sparked huge debate and energy across the room and if we’re honest, we barely scratched the surface. 

So for 2026, we’re going all in.

We’re diving deeper into the AI hole across technology, transformation, marketing, data and all things RETaiL (yes, spelled that way for a reason). 

Not theory - Not hype. 

Real use cases. Real challenges. Real impact.

To do this properly, we’ve partnered with the brilliant team at Ignite AI Partners – people who aren’t just talking about AI, but actively delivering meaningful work with retailers every day. 

What makes this partnership powerful is simple: they’ve sat in retail leadership seats themselves. They get the pressure. They get the pace. And they get what good actually looks like in a retail environment.

As Neil Holden and Craig Bentley, Co-Founders of Ignite AI Partners, put it:

“We bring practical retail experience and real case studies that move beyond the AI hype. Together with Future of Retail and WeComm, we are creating spaces for honest, peer-led conversations.”

And that’s exactly the point.

Through Future of Retail and The WeComm Group, this series is about bringing the retail community together – leaders learning from leaders, sharing what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s coming next.

🔹 Up first: AI in Marketing
📅 February 5th 
📍 London TBC 

If you’re a retail leader who wants to understand how AI can genuinely move the needle – not just sound good in a board deck – this is a conversation you’ll want to be part of.

No fluff. No ego. 

Just honest insight and forward-thinking discussion.

If you want in, you know where to find us.
