Retail in Transition invites business owners, investors, & innovators to explore how AI can drive growth while strengthening the cultural fabric of our neighborhoods.
From smarter customer experiences to real-time insights for small businesses, we'll discuss how technology can empower local communities to thrive without losing the core values that make them unique.
Key questions we want to explore:
How should we envision the retail experience might look like in the next 3-5 years, & how would that affect retail business owners?
In the age of AI, how could we provide customers with a better customer experience, leveraging AI while maintaining human touch?
How could we empower Chinatown to preserve its unique cultural values in the paradigm shift of technology?
