Description
In this episode of The Retail Pilot, host Ken Pilot sits down with the visionary team behind RetailClub: Anil D. Aggarwal, CEO & Co-Founder, Simran Rekhi Aggarwal, President & Krystina Gustafson, Chief Content Officer & Co-Founder. Known for creating transformative events like Shop Talk and Grocery Shop, this team is once again leading retail into its next great evolution, this time with AI at the center. Together, they discuss the why behind RetailClub, a new kind of gathering designed to bring together AI-curious, AI-championing, and AI-implementing professionals from across the retail industry. Unlike traditional conferences, RetailClub is a dynamic community and immersive experience complete with beachfront workshops, open-air keynotes, and the kind of deep, meaningful dialogue that can only happen face-to-face.
You’ll hear how this initiative is less about flashy tech demos and more about building real, practical fluency in AI across functions from merchandising to marketing to customer service and preparing leaders to navigate exponential change. Whether you're just starting to explore AI or already leading its charge, this conversation will show you why RetailClub is the place to be.
