Groceryshop 2026 recap. Wow, that a week for Omni Talk Retail and GrocerTalk! Here's a quick ICYMI of the content we shared.
We welcomed 12 senior retail and CPG executives to our Vusion podcast booth for exclusive interviews. I'll put all the links in the notes below, for our interviews with:
🟠 Jeremy Gosch, Chairman & CEO, Hy-Vee, Inc.
🟠 Myron Frazier, EVP & Chief Merchant, Sam's Club
🟠 Yael Cosset, EVP & Chief Digital Officer, Kroger
🟠 Ryan Hamburger, Chief Customer Officer, Instacart
🟠 Sjoerd Holleman, Chief Product & AI Officer, Albert Heijn
🟠 Mark Williamson, AVP Retail Media, Costco Wholesale
🟠 Bobby Watts, Executive Lead, AD Retail Media USA
🟠 Brian Monahan, SVP Retail Media, Albertsons Media Collective
🟠 Katie Blackburn, VP Commercial Strategy & Operations, WHSmith North America
🟠 Jim Trahanas, CTO, Fruitist
🟠 Andrew Lederman, VP Global Digital Commerce Mondelēz International
🟠 Arthur Sylvestre, VP Media & Digital, Danone
But that was far from all... Chris Walton and I took to the keynote stage three days running to lead keynote interviews with retailers, and generated two days of Supermarket News headline news in the process!
And we wrapped the show on Thursday afternoon with the Groceryshop Key Takeaways, alongside Deborah Weinswig 韋葆蘭 and Groceryshop's Kelly Lindenau. There's a link for that in the notes, too, our 40-minute summary of all we learned during the week.
We also recorded the weekly Omni Talk Fast Five, and GrocerTalk podcasts, my guest on the latter the wonderful Lauren Livak Gilbert.
Plus Chad Lusk from A&M CGR popped by the record 5 Insightful Minutes on changing consumer trends, as did Sebastian Hill from TCC Global on the impact of agentic commerce on loyalty. Look out for those later this week.
A huge thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth, said Hello, got involved and helped make all the coverage last week possible, especially our sponsors at Groceryshop this year Vusion 🙏 Cristina Rodrigues Loïc Oumier Rocquan Lucas
