About this Event

Walmart and major retailers are leaning into AI and streamlining everything from internal operations to the external shopper journey. To win your fair share, you need the right tools and know-how. AI in Action gives you the competitive edge and paves the way to better internal decisions and external communications without breaking the budget or requiring a data science team.

• Brand Managers, Category Analysts, and Sales Leaders selling to Walmart and major retailers

• Analytics, finance, marketing, and operations teams working with data

• Anyone drowning in recurring reports and manual analysis

• Leaders who want decision-ready insights instead of spreadsheet drudgery


No data science background or coding experience required.
