The Connected Store at Scale: From Tech Hype to Operational Reality
The pilot worked. Now what?
Most retailers have proven that connected store technology can work. The problem is that a successful pilot and a scalable operating model are two very different things, and the gap between them is where most initiatives quietly fall apart.
Most retail pilots fail to scale. Not because the technology is broken, but because real store environments are not controlled environments. Store teams, operational complexity, and day-to-day pressure expose every gap the pilot never had to face.
The question retailers need to be asking right now is not whether to invest in connected store technology. It is whether their organization is actually ready to run it at scale.

Why Attend?
This session cuts through the vendor noise to get at what scaling really requires: the governance, the people, the operational infrastructure, and the platform thinking that most technology conversations never get to.
What we will cover:
- Why connected store pilots succeed and chainwide rollouts struggle.
- The human and operational barriers that technology alone cannot solve.
- How to separate genuinely production-ready solutions from demo-ware.
- What it means to move from isolated tools to a connected store system.
- What retailers should stop doing and what to focus on instead.
