SHOPTALK Edition
An evening for senior Marketing, CRM, and Data leaders in retail — designed for connection, not content.
Join a curated group of marketing leaders for a private dinner at HAKKASAN, Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi, on the evening before SHOPTALK LUXE.
This is not a panel, presentation, or product showcase. It’s an invitation to step away from the conference noise and into thoughtful conversation with peers - over exceptional food, in an iconic setting.
The timing is intentionally aligned: enjoy dinner first, then walk together to the ShopTalk Welcome Reception for drinks. No rushing. No trade-offs. Just a seamless start to the week.
What’s it about?
This dinner is built around exchange, not agenda.
No slides. No stage. No formal content.
Just open, off-the-record conversation about how AI is actually showing up inside modern marketing teams - what’s real, what’s evolving, and what leaders are learning along the way.
The focus is on:
• Relationship building
• Shared experience
• Honest dialogue among peers facing similar challenges
Why attend?
Because the most valuable conversations don’t happen in conference rooms - they happen around the table.
This evening is for leaders who want to:
• Compare notes with peers navigating AI, data, and customer engagement
• Exchange perspectives in a trusted, private setting
• Build meaningful relationships before the conference begins
• Start SHOPTALK LUXE with context, connections, and momentum
Who is it for?
A select group of senior leaders in retail, including:
• Marketing & Digital Leaders
• CRM, Loyalty & Lifecycle Owners
• Data, Analytics & Customer Experience Executives
If you’re responsible for driving customer-centric growth - and want thoughtful conversation without the sales pitch - this evening is for you.
What to expect:
🗣️ Thoughtful, candid conversation
🍷 A relaxed, intimate atmosphere
🍽️ A multi-course fine dining experience at HAKKASAN
🤝 Genuine connections with peers - before SHOPTALK even begins
Please note that availability is limited to ensure a relaxed and engaging experience.
