Big Data, Data Analytics and deep insights are starting to unlock hidden benefits in grocery retail, from customer habits to pricing opportunities, and assortment gaps to an understanding of demand and missed profit opportunities. In this rapidly evolving area, we are delighted to announce the first SPAR Data Analytics Conference which will be held on 23 and 24 March 2023 in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

The Conference will bring together subject matter experts and business leaders from SPAR country organisations to share insights and knowledge with feedback on a data hackathon. Industry experts will also be invited to participate in the Conference, bringing additional knowledge to the discussions. More information about the data hackathon will be supplied soon.

The Data Analytics Conference will start on 23 March at noon with a buffet lunch, which will be followed by presentations, breakout sessions, and panel discussions. A joint dinner that evening is another networking opportunity for participants. The conference continues on 24 March and will conclude at 1 pm.

The Conference fee will be €300, excluding travel and accommodation. Please keep these dates free in your diary and follow the SPAR App or SPAR Connect event pages for more details on the programme.

If you have any questions about the Conference, please contact Tom Rose.
