UNLOCKING AI'S REAL POTENTIAL: HOW AMAZON IS DRIVING RETAIL TRANSFORMATION

Hosted by Co-Founder & Retail AI Council Chair Andrew Laudato, featuring Justin Honaman, Head of Worldwide Retail & Consumer Goods at AWS, Michael Connor, AWS’s Global Generative AI Product Lead, and a newly added guest: Vince Koh, Worldwide Digital Commerce at AWS.



AI is revolutionizing retail, and Vince Koh will discuss how it’s shaping key technologies like Search, AR, VR, Virtual Try-On, and Personalization. These tools are transforming the customer experience by enabling more personalized, immersive shopping environments, helping retailers reduce returns, increase customer satisfaction, and create seamless purchase journeys. AI in these areas is vital as it enhances product discovery, helps customers visualize items before buying, and delivers tailor-made recommendations, all crucial in boosting engagement and sales.



With Amazon's net sales growing 11% year-over-year, reaching $134.4 billion in Q2 2023, this session is packed with insights into how AI can streamline operations, improve customer experiences, and elevate your retail strategy.
