This year’s themes are built to help you turn vision into action — across every function of your organization.
The Groceryshop agenda dives deep into the most critical forces transforming grocery and CPG. From the rise of AI-powered operations to the evolution of retail media, the sessions will explore how leading retailers and brands are driving efficiency, growth, and innovation. Attendees will gain strategies for captivating and retaining modern shoppers, building future-ready organizations, and unlocking new revenue streams. Plus, with a global lineup of speakers and companies, Groceryshop 2025 offers a rare chance to learn from international peers and discover fresh approaches to shared challenges.
Meetup & Networking
The backbone of the Groceryshop experience is the event’s Meetup networking platform, which facilitates more than 30,000 individual 15-minute meetings over three days.
Meetup signifies the evolution of the typical ‘speed dating’ conference networking experience. At Groceryshop, attendees are not randomly paired with fellow attendees and solution providers, but rather matched through common business interests and goals.
Every Groceryshop attendee is welcome to join the Meetup platform, where they complete a questionnaire on their business focus, career profile, and industry interests. Based on their answers, attendees are then paired with fellow attendees and tech providers through a double-opt-in platform that ensures executives only speak with those they wish to meet.
In addition to the Meetup program, there are a host of networking opportunities both inside and outside of the convention center, including topic table discussion, cocktail hours, retailer and brand dinners, and Groceryshop’s popular industry party featuring food, drink, and live entertainment.
In conjunction with the jam-packed networking agenda, the event’s educational docket provides attendees with the opportunity to hear the industry’s latest and greatest tech innovations and strategic approaches firsthand.
Key Themes
This year’s content is anchored around five key themes:
Efficient and AI-Powered Grocery Operations
Understanding, Captivating, and Retaining Shoppers
The Next Frontier for Retail Media (and New Revenue Streams)
Building Unified and Future-Ready Organizations
Global Inspiration and Insights
In addition to in-depth sessions across these themes, the main stage will feature leaders from Unilever, Lidl US, Sprouts Farmers Market, poppi, and more, offering their perspectives on how to succeed in a digital-first, AI-powered world.
New for 2025, Groceryshop is launching the AI Test Kitchen — an immersive, hands-on experience designed to help retailers and brands unlock real business value from AI. From agentic AI to predictive analytics, these interactive sessions will equip attendees with tangible strategies they can put to work right away.
