AI ambition is everywhere in retail. Measurable results are harder to find. In this panel, Omni Talk founder Chris Walton leads a practical conversation with leaders from Kroger, Dell Technologies, and NVIDIA about what it takes to move AI from promising pilots to real results in every store. Drawing on decades of first-party customer data, Kroger shares how it's removing friction between digital and physical shopping, balancing flexibility with control, and giving associates tools that make their workday simpler. Dell Technologies and NVIDIA explain how edge infrastructure and accelerated AI help retailers scale these capabilities securely across thousands of locations. Attendees will leave with a clear view of how to align customer value, associate productivity, and operational execution into an AI strategy that delivers measurable ROI.

Join Kroger, Mercado Libre, and Rakuten Ichiba to discover how they have architected an enterprise agentic AI platform for maximum flexibility, rock-solid security, and optimal cost efficiency across any cloud. This session will review the latest advancements in Agentic AI and share proven strategies for deploying open-source models at scale, giving you greater control over and IP ownership of your models, at significantly lower inference cost. You don’t have to choose between frontier performance and open-source control. Leading retailers are building hybrid agentic platforms that leverage both.
