As part of our partnership with CommerceNext, Women in Retail Leadership Circle (WIRLC) is excited to host a panel breakfast during the 2026 CommerceNext Growth Show. The breakfast session will bring our community together for a high-impact, candid conversation to start the day.

Taking place on June 24, the session will focus on the next iteration of artificial intelligence — beyond the buzz and into real-world impact. We’ll spotlight how women retail leaders are using AI to drive better business outcomes through sharper decision-making, faster execution, and smarter leadership.

We’re currently curating the conversation and finalizing speakers, but I can assure you the perspectives coming together promise to be both practical and compelling. Expect an open, honest dialogue grounded in real experiences, not hype. This session is being designed to leave you with ideas you can immediately apply.

The CommerceNext Growth Show (June 23󈞄, New York City) will bring together more than 2,700 senior-level leaders, more than 150 industry speakers, and more than 60 sessions focused on growth, innovation and meaningful connection across retail, e-commerce and marketing.

In addition to our breakfast session, WIRLC will host a co-branded Women in Retail–CommerceNext lounge for connection and conversation, along with curated leadership chats with leading women in retail. As a CommerceNext partner, the WIRLC community can take advantage of exclusive registration benefits.
