Giant Eagle, Ferrero Join 2026 Retail Media Summit Agenda
As the retail media landscape matures, success hinges on internal alignment and technological adaptation. At the fifth annual Retail Media Summit (RMS), happening June 2-4 in Chicago, we are diving deep into the structural and digital transformations driving the industry forward.
Keynote: Inside Giant Eagle’s Next Chapter
Giant Eagle is entering a new phase of growth with a refreshed brand vision by unifying its merchandising and marketing teams. Justin Weinstein, EVP, Chief Merchandising & Marketing Officer, will provide a behind the scenes look at how this integration is strengthening the brand’s value proposition and what this shift has meant internally.
- The Focus: Moving from internal silos to a unified, customer-centric strategy.
- Key Takeaway: How a refreshed brand vision is being executed "neighborhood by neighborhood" to adapt to today’s rapidly evolving market.
Will AI Take My Retail Media Job?
As automation increasingly takes over bidding, optimization, forecasting and reporting, the role of the retail media professional is shifting. Sarp Tunçay, E-Commerce & Retail Media Lead at Ferrero, will share a practitioner’s perspective on how AI is already reshaping retail media roles across Amazon, Walmart, Kroger and Instacart.
- The Focus: Distinguishing between tasks that get automated and skills that become more valuable.
- Key Takeaway: How to move from execution toward higher-impact orchestration and commercial influence.
