RTS & RWIT: Optimising the Shopping Journey Workshop
Join Retail Women in Tech at Retail Technology Show 2026
Retail Women in Tech is bringing its community to Retail Technology Show 2026 for two days of meaningful conversation, fresh ideas, and valuable connection with women and allies across retail and technology.
Hosted at ExCeL London on 22–23 April, RTS is one of the industry’s leading events, bringing together 15,000+ retail professionals, 450+ technology providers, and 125+ expert speakers.
RWIT will be hosting a featured workshop with Renee Hartmann, Natalie Fresen, and Melissa Minkow: Optimizing the Shopping Journey for Today’s Researched Consumer
📅 22 April | 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
Today’s consumers are more informed than ever, but research does not always equal confidence. Retailers must find better ways to simplify decision-making, support discovery, and deliver the right information at the right time.
During this session, we’ll discuss how to:
Reduce information overload
Support more confident customer decisions
Leverage data and technology to personalize the shopping journey at scale
Then join us for the Retail Women in Tech Happy Hour:
📅 22 April | 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM
A relaxed networking hour to meet fellow leaders, spark new conversations, and build community with the women shaping the future of retail.
