ALT Artificial Intelligence: Retail Employees of the Future? According to the International Federation of Robotics, global installations of industrial robots grew 31% in 2021 year-on-year. Sales of service robots rose 37%, with the retail sector a significant driver of both. So, this begs the question, is artificial intelligence the future of retail? We will discuss with Richtech Robotics' COO Phil Zheng how they are taking robotics and artificial intelligence to the next level by disrupting traditional retail, hospitality, and food and beverage. Phil will also touch on the impact of robotics on customer experience and engagement. Ian Scott, Rethink Retail Top 100 Influencer and CEO of Ian Scott Consulting, predicts how artificial intelligence will impact employers. Will it make the “customer experience” too generic? With all the talk today about staffing shortages and challenges with employee retention, is artificial intelligence the answer?

ALT KEN HUGHES INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER, AUTHOR & STRATEGIST: A conversation to inspire and engage, to entertain and to challenge how we think about the nature of relationship and connection. If we are serious about deepening our customer and employee relationships, we have to invest in emotional intelligence.

ALT We speak a lot about Customer Lifetime Value, Brand Loyalty or the Customer/Employee Experience, but we have to start asking ourselves some hard questions relating to how we intend to build relationships deep enough to deliver. In our new ‘digital first’ world (where most product/service interactions start digitally), it can all get very transactional. While digital convenience continues to accelerate (get everything you need in one-click, one-swipe, instantly) it can be very two-dimensional, and often lacks any depth, empathy or connection.
