Independent retailers represent a massive, underserved market in ecommerce. Our goal is to share how AI and data-driven personalization can help smaller DTC and regional retailers unlock hidden growth opportunities that were once only available to giants like Walmart and Kroger. We want to inspire retailers to see AI not as intimidating tech, but as a practical partner that strengthens customer loyalty and profitability.

Listeners will learn how to use AI to segment customers, predict demand, and create personalized offers that drive basket size and loyalty, without the complexity or budget of national chains. They’ll also hear real-world examples of how independents generated hundreds of thousands in new revenue by uncovering hidden insights in their data.
