What does it really take to build a brand that scales? At #NRF2026: Retail’s Big Show, @vancityReynolds joined @Adyen CFO Ethan Tandowsky for a candid conversation on building innovative brands in modern retail.

Big news: @madebymonks Chief AI & Revenue Officer Wesley ter Haar is taking the stage at #NRFNexus! 🚀

His keynote — Break Your Business & Rebuild It Better — goes beyond the AI efficiency conversation to tackle what it actually takes to rewire an entire organization from the inside out.

We're talking collapsing content supply chains from months to days, moving from agencies to agents, and scrapping the old org chart for an agent-first reality.

If you're done chasing incremental gains and ready to engineer a business that disrupts itself before someone else does — this is the session to be in.

Catch Wesley on stage at NRF Nexus → Link in bio.

In a retail landscape that changes daily, your greatest competitive edge is the people you surround yourself with.

@brieaneolson, CEO of @pacsun, calls NRF Nexus the premier destination for real conversations, genuine connections, and insights you can actually put to work.

Join us July 22–24 at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.

AI is rewriting the rules of retail in real time. It’s changing how your products get discovered, how pricing is determined, and how decisions are made—at a pace most teams aren’t built for.

Join @MitchJoel at NRF Nexus 2026 as he shows you how to navigate this shift—and build a strategy that actually holds up when the rules won’t sit still.

AI in retail isn’t the story anymore. Execution is.

Retailers have already invested in platforms, data, and AI. Now the pressure is on to make it all work—together, in real time, and at scale.

From pricing and inventory to customer experience, the shift is happening inside day-to-day operations.

So where does it actually stand, and what’s next?
