70+ Senior Executives from CPG, Retail and Logistics Industries
Why Now
Consumer businesses are under pressure to reshape how they serve customers, run their supply chains and operate day to day, and AI now sits at the centre of that shift. Consumer Next brings together over seventy senior leaders from consumer goods, retail and logistics with Infosys leadership and its strategic partners, for one afternoon of direct, practitioner-level conversation.
Expect candid keynotes, real case studies from customers already running AI at scale, outside perspectives from Penri Jones of Arloesi and Professor James Fergusson of Cambridge, and a CXO panel with Colin Shenoy of Diageo, Farzana Allegacone of Danone and Tewfik Bedreddine of Reckitt, built for debate rather than demonstration. The evening closes over drinks and dinner, giving the day's conversations room to continue informally.
