August 8, 2025 — Invent.ai’s team from across the Americas is gathering in Chicago for two days of collaboration, innovation and culture-building—all focused on advancing AI solutions that will help retailers work better and grow faster.

From August 11–12, leaders and experts from North and South America will convene in person to align around shared objectives and co-create strategies designed to address today’s complex retail challenges. This gathering underscores invent.ai’s commitment to strategic collaboration and forging strong retail partnerships that deliver measurable results. 

In today’s fast-paced retail world, staying ahead means more than just keeping shelves stocked—it requires data-driven decisions at every step. By harnessing machine learning and advanced AI, we help retailers not only forecast demand with precision but also optimize pricing and inventory across all channels. The result is fewer stockouts, less wasted inventory and healthier margins that drive growth. 

Our upcoming internal summit is designed to bring this expertise in-person. Through hands-on workshops and leadership discussions, we’ll dive deep into critical retail functions like inventory visibility, fulfillment solutions and distribution strategy. It’s all about sharing resources, sharpening operational skills and accelerating progress so our teams can better support retailers in anticipating customer needs and refining pricing strategies. 

But it doesn’t stop there. Retail today thrives on partnerships and invent.ai’s platform empowers retailers and their complementary brands to grow their audience base and raise brand awareness through tailored marketing partnerships, loyalty program partnerships and sales and distribution agreements. The summit will also explore opportunities for coordinated joint marketing campaigns, creating mutually beneficial relationships that strengthen competitive positioning.

“Gathering our Americas team in Chicago is a key step in reinforcing our shared vision,” said Gurhan Kok, Founder & CEO. “This summit is an opportunity to build stronger connections, improve customer data collaboration and develop AI-driven solutions that address the evolving needs of our retail partners.”

This summit reinforces our commitment to building strong retail partnerships and driving strategic collaboration across the industry. By growing our cross-team knowledge and aligning on solutions like inventory visibility and fulfillment, the team is well-positioned to help retailers and their complementary brands tackle ongoing retail challenges and unlock new opportunities for growth. Together, we are building the future of retail.
