🤖 AI isn't about replacing people. It's about helping them make better decisions.

The brands seeing the biggest impact from AI aren't chasing trends. They're using it to solve real problems for customers and employees.

From product discovery to side-by-side comparisons, AI-powered tools like Magic Apron are helping shoppers find the right products faster, ask better questions, and shop with more confidence.

As Angie Brown, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer at The Home Depot, explains, the greatest value comes when AI is focused on improving the customer experience and supporting associates where it matters most.

💡 Start with the customer. Let AI do the heavy lifting.

💡Great leaders don't have all the answers. They build teams with people who do.

As Grace Na, Founder of Pi***la Jeans, explains, the needs of a business evolve as it grows.

In the early days, success often depends on versatile team members who can wear multiple hats, adapt quickly, and help drive growth across different areas of the business.

🚀 As companies scale, the focus shifts. The need for specialists becomes greater. Leaders who bring deep expertise, challenge assumptions, and fill knowledge gaps that help move the business forward.

The strongest organizations aren't built around one person's expertise. They're built by empowering talented people to lead in their own areas and contribute at the highest level.

The Women in Retail community continues to make an impact! 💜

Thanks to the generosity of our attendees, sponsors, and partners, we collected thousands of items at the 2026 Women in Retail Leadership Summit through our initiative with LiquiDonate.

These donations were distributed to 10 nonprofit organizations across Florida, helping to support children, families, students, and seniors in need.

Together, we:
✨ Donated more than 12,000 items
✨ Provided more than $10,000 in estimated value to nonprofits
✨ Diverted approximately 3,000 pounds from landfills
✨ Supported organizations focused on education, health and wellness, and community services

From baby supplies and books to apparel, beauty products, school supplies, and more, every donation helped extend the impact of our event beyond the conference walls.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make a difference.

🚀 Consumer discovery is changing fast, and Vivian Weng, Brand President of ColourPop, has seen that shift firsthand.

One of the biggest changes over the past year has been how consumers discover products. Platforms like TikTok Shop are creating product demand at a speed unlike anything many brands have experienced before, with a single viral moment capable of driving massive sales momentum almost overnight.

That rapid growth brings new challenges too. Brands must rethink how they forecast inventory, allocate marketing budgets, and respond to demand in real time.

In a world where trends can emerge overnight, agility is becoming one of retail's most valuable competitive advantages.

🔑 "How do I get ahead in my career?"

Most people expect the answer to be working harder, gaining more experience, or collecting more qualifications.

✨ But as Susie Kuhn shares, career growth often comes down to something much simpler: building meaningful relationships, creating opportunities, and having the confidence to take a chance on yourself.

Sometimes the biggest career breakthrough starts with one bold conversation, one raised hand, or one step outside your comfort zone.

What really drives a brand turnaround? According to Melissa Lowenkron, Chief Brand Officer at Fossil Group, it starts with momentum, storytelling, and meaningful customer connection. ✨

Strong products matter, but so does the story behind them. Melissa shares why authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and a devoted customer base are just as critical to recovery as financial or operational levers.
