Retail at the Edge: The Infrastructure To Deliver AI, Prevent Cyber Threats

6:30 - 9:00 PM BST | London, UK

Event Overview

Whether its optimising customer experience to maximise sales, implementing efficiency savings or putting in security fixes to cut losses, retailers need to adopt the latest technology to compete.

Today that means ensuring that you manage how you deploy bleeding edge tech, from leveraging cloud to centralise IT staff, using AI to understand shopper behaviours, identify theft, and spot problems before they become an issue – right down to clients falling off due to poor WiFi. And then these issues need instant fixes.

There are tested solutions available that can enhance your resilience in the face of cyberthreats, and ensure sustainability in this increasingly competitive environment.

Join our peer to peer roundtable where we will discuss:

How to deliver the networks that deliver AI effectively.
Using tech to enhance reliability and lower delivery costs.
Planning your retail tech implementation strategy for the next 5 to 10 years.
