A Guide to Shoptalk Europe 2024: Coresight Research Insights

Notable Sessions Across Five Major Themes

Shoptalk Europe 2024’s agenda covers the latest technologies, trends and business models that are creating retail innovation through digital transformation and helping retailers and brands find growth opportunities. This year, the agenda will focus on the rapid evolution of how consumers discover, shop and buy products across all retail verticals.

Below, we present the five major themes, and related notable sessions, shaping Shoptalk Europe’s 2024 agenda.

1. Employing AI To Transform Your Business

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)—which is already transforming business functions across the retail space—will be a $19.4 billion market worldwide this year, Coresight Research estimates. But is AI over-hyped in the short term?

There are two key questions businesses need to answer to unlock the potential of AI: What applications of AI will have the greatest transformational power, and how will these impact the retailer’s organization? Expert speakers will help attendees answer these questions with tactical frameworks for the near-term adoption of AI and case studies of early adoption, while also challenging the notion that AI’s long-term potential could ever be under-hyped.

Below, we present notable sessions related to this theme.

2. Harnessing Brand Power and Building Brand Trust

Coresight Research perceives increased desirability for strong brands in discretionary categories, such as fashion, to be a gradual, secular and global trend, one fueled by the increased accessibility of brands—primarily through digital platforms (including marketplaces) and resale, but also via channels such as off-price. We expect this to fuel market-share gains for the biggest super-brands with the widest relevance—distinguished by factors such as product innovation, brand collaborations and strong brand marketing—as well as more niche players that successfully resonate with specific consumer segments and identities.

The playbook for what makes a strong brand is changing, and brands must be crystal clear on what they stand for, the purpose of their brand and products, and who their customers are; there is little margin for error. Shoptalk Europe 2024 has identified three core attributes of brands that will lead retail over the coming decade: audience engagement, quality and authenticity, and distribution.

3. Creating Unified Retail Experiences

As shoppers move effortlessly and continuously between stores and the digital realm, retailers need to create cohesive, shopper-centric seamless experiences; Shoptalk Europe 2024 calls this concept “unified commerce.” A step beyond omnichannel, unified commerce puts the shopper at the heart of everything and focuses on providing them with consistent experiences. Speakers discussing this topic will offer insights into how a retailer’s organization can foster unified retail experiences through new structures, technology capabilities and customer-facing offerings.

4. Next-Generation Demand Creation

Finding profitable volume growth via new routes of demand creation is an increasingly vital priority for many European retailers and brands—at Coresight Research, we are closely tracking new and alternative retail and consumption models, from resale platforms to livestreaming to “Fast Luxury.” With these new routes, shoppers’ traditionally linear path-to-purchase has been fundamentally disrupted, creating fresh opportunities for engagement, loyalty and conversion. Speakers diving into this topic at Shoptalk Europe 2024 will explore what retailers and brands need to do to keep pace with changing consumer behaviors with case studies and examples of next-generation demand creation.

5. Navigating Changing Industry Relationships

Nonretail opportunities are expanding: By 2028, retail media will be a £7.3 billion ($9.1 billion) opportunity in the UK alone, according to Coresight Research projections. Coresight Research also estimates that retailers can generate 0.1%–1.0% of total sales in alternative revenue from media and shopper insights. Retail media networks (RMNs), business-to-business partnerships and retailer technology commercialization are just some of the change agents influencing retail’s key industry relationships and blurring the traditional lines of the European retail market, where roles are no longer clearly defined. Coupled with insights into emerging routes to market—from rapid delivery to creator commerce—speakers covering this topic will give attendees the tools they need to understand these change drivers and ensure their organizations thrive in this new retail ecosystem.

Do Not Miss the Shoptalk Europe 2024 Startup Pitch Competition!

In addition to the sessions mentioned above, we urge attendees to join the Startup Pitch competition on June 3, 2024, which is part of the “Spotlight on Emerging Retail Tech” track.

The event will comprise two rounds across three sessions on June 3, seeing 12 early-stage innovators present their solutions to key retail challenges across four areas of innovation: AI, analytics and insights, customer engagement and loyalty and retail operations.

In the first round, all 12 startups will pitch their solutions to the audience and an expert panel of judges, which will rate each pitch. The top six companies progress to the second round, in which they will participate in a live question-and-answer session for the opportunity to win the Judges’ Choice and Audience Choice awards.

Deborah Weinswig, CEO and Founder of Coresight Research, will emcee the competition and serve on the judging panel.

The participating startups include Anam.AI, Carbon Maps, Elyn, Guac, Loyalty Games, Pi-xcels, Pixyle.ai, PSYKHE AI, Rapid Delivery Analytics, Raspberry AI and Veesual.

Stay tuned to stage.coresight.com for our upcoming Innovator Profiles reports, profiling each participating company, as well as our full preview report on this year’s Startup Pitch.
