Where Performance, Intelligence and Planning come together.
Join us for an exclusive, immersive evening at Lightbox New York, hosted by Board, Coresight Research, and Microsoft. This private gathering brings together senior retail executives, technology leaders, and industry innovators for high-impact conversations, fresh insights, and meaningful networking ahead of NRF 2026.
Coresight Research CEO Deborah Weinswig will unveil first-look findings from our proprietary study, Navigating Complexities in Merchandising, presented through a focused teach-in and a dynamic, data-driven visual experience that highlights the evolving retail landscape.
Mastering AI execution is now a key differentiator for retail success. In our upcoming report with Board, we found that 65% of retailers using Merchandise Financial Planning software see improved financial performance—boosting sales by up to 6% and margins by 1.1%. These results highlight how vital the right tools are for turning data into action in the AI era.
Set within Lightbox’s cutting-edge digital environment, the event offers an immersive backdrop designed to spark ideas, elevate dialogue, and connect leaders shaping the future of intelligent retail performance and planning.
