JOIN US AT SHOPTALK europe 2023

Unprecedented Disruption, Unparalleled Opportunity

Following the inspiring experience at Shoptalk US at the beginning of this year, Capgemini will be joining 185+ speakers at Shoptalk Europe 2023 to explore the challenges and opportunities facing retailers – from a business and customer perspective. As retailers compete in today’s dynamic marketplace, they need to future-proof their supply chain and meet consumer demands in a cost-effective and sustainable way. These are top-of-mind challenges that we’ll be tackling head-on at the event.

In 2023, many retailers face uncertainties such as transportation and raw material bottlenecks, which impact fulfilment, and geopolitical conflicts, which increase costs. Moreover, basket sizes remain the same, but fewer items are purchased. New technologies are also changing the foundations of the retail and shopping experience, creating a need for retailers to adapt quickly and build resilience.

Adapt to Compete and Unlock Channel Growth

At Shoptalk Europe 2023, we’ll discuss how retailers can integrate their supply chains for better fulfilment. This involves understanding consumer demand and achieving a condensed time window for fulfilment, as new global standards emerge. We’ll also explore how tapping into the ecosystem can create a sustainable platform for growth and how building omnichannel organizations can help retailers adapt and compete in the marketplace.
