Rithum invites you to attend our VIP* lunch session at Shoptalk on Wednesday, March 25 as we unpack the operational realities of AI-enabled commerce. As brands and retailers navigate accelerating AI innovation, shifting discovery surfaces, and rising consumer expectations, the true differentiator is not ambitious AI pilots, but clean, structured data as an operational readiness foundation. This session provides a highly actionable view into what leaders must do now to prepare their organizations for fast-moving AI-driven change.

Building on a newly released Industry Dive consumer survey report on how shoppers use AI, we will explore the widening gap between consumer expectations and brand readiness, the implications of AI-driven discovery, and the increasing pressure on data quality across product content, listings, and retail media. Through a blend of strategic vision, retailer perspective, and practical execution guidance, attendees will walk away with a cohesive understanding of the new commerce reality.

• Exclusive first look at new brand and consumer sentiment around AI in commerce—and what the widening expectation gap means for retailers and brands in 2026.
• Why structured, enriched, compliant product data is now the critical backbone of AI-driven discovery and operational performance.
• Actionable frameworks for how organizations can prepare for accelerating AI demands across listings, content, and marketplace operations.

*This session is open to brands and retailers only. Don’t miss this exclusive Shoptalk Spring session that will set you up for success for the remainder of 2026.
