The Innovation & NPD Showcase this year will be one of our most exciting and busiest yet, and we are thrilled to welcome Galvia AI and Kellanova as this year’s sponsors.
Galvia Retail is an AI-powered decision intelligence platform that unifies siloed data into a single view of your KPIs, customers, and inventory. It transforms this data into insights, predictions, and real-time prompts — helping retailers drive revenue growth, improve margins, and boost efficiency. We’re recording a podcast with Galvia on AI in retail this week, so look out for that ahead of the Showcase!
Kellanova will be sharing its latest campaign with Pringles and the leading men's mental health charity, Movember. Pringles advocates for positive mental wellbeing and encourages people to pop in on friends, supporting them through their journey by starting those tough conversations.
