Introduction

Groceryshop 2026 will take place on September 22–24 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. Groceryshop is an annual conference that brings together retailers, consumer brands, technology companies and other industry participants to discuss business models, technologies and consumer trends affecting grocery and consumer packaged goods (CPG) retail.

The Coresight Research team will be in attendance and looks forward to meeting other attendees at Groceryshop 2026. Coresight Research CEO and Founder Deborah Weinswig is scheduled to moderate two Startup Pitch sessions on September 23 (from 9:00 a.m. on the Case Studies Stage) and participate in the Groceryshop Key Takeaways session on September 24 (at 3:10 p.m. on the Capsule Stage).

In this essential guide to the event, we highlight notable sessions for attendees across six major themes, as identified by the Groceryshop team. All times in this report are Pacific Time (PT; local time at the event).

We will preview Startup Pitch participating companies in separate reports.

These sessions join Groceryshop’s established Meetup program, which will facilitate more than 30,000 prematched one-to-one meetings between attendees.

Also new for 2026, Shoptalk Innovation Week will connect Groceryshop and Shoptalk Fall, with an optional dual-event pass available to participants attending both events.

Notable Sessions Across Six Major Themes

Below, we present the six major themes and related notable sessions shaping Groceryshop’s 2026 agenda, as well as insights from the Coresight Research team and its published reports and data.

1. AI-Powered Shopping Experiences

AI is becoming more visible in the consumer shopping journey as retailers and brands introduce tools that support product discovery, recommendations, customer service and purchasing. In grocery, these applications must account for large and frequently changing assortments, dietary preferences, substitutions and the repeated nature of many purchases. The growth of third-party AI platforms also means that shoppers may begin their journeys outside retailers’ own websites and apps.

This development places greater importance on the quality and structure of product data. Retailers and brands will need to consider how product information is interpreted by AI tools, how recommendations are generated and how to maintain accurate pricing and availability information. They must also determine where automation is appropriate and where shoppers may still prefer to review options or make decisions themselves.

At Groceryshop, sessions relevant to this theme will examine how retailers and brands are preparing for agentic traffic, developing AI-powered shopping assistants and adapting product discovery strategies for generative AI platforms. The theme also covers the data, technology and organizational requirements involved.

Coresight Research Insight: A 2026 Coresight Research survey found that more than one-third (36.3%) of respondents were very or somewhat comfortable allowing AI to purchase groceries automatically on their behalf without reviewing each order first. This indicates meaningful, but not yet widespread, consumer openness to AI taking a more active role in the grocery purchase journey.

Coresight Research estimates that just over half (51%) of enterprise software applications will use AI agents to some degree by 2029. In retail, adoption will depend on more than the consumer interface: companies will need reliable data, appropriate governance and clear links between each application and a defined business need. The 2026 Coresight Research US online grocery survey found that more than one-third (36.3%) of respondents were very or somewhat comfortable allowing an AI assistant to purchase groceries automatically on their behalf without reviewing each order. This indicates meaningful, although not yet widespread, consumer openness to AI taking a more active role in grocery purchasing.

2. Transforming and Optimizing Business Operations

Grocery retailers operate with high transaction volumes, complex supply chains and relatively narrow margins. They must manage availability, freshness and labor while responding to changes in input costs and consumer demand. These conditions continue to support investment in forecasting, inventory management, fulfillment and store technologies that can improve the speed and accuracy of operational decisions.

The benefits of a new technology depend on how it is implemented across the organization. Retailers must integrate new tools with existing systems, establish responsibility for data and decisions, and ensure that employees understand how the technology supports their work. Assortment, pricing and promotions also need to be considered together, as changes in one area can affect inventory, margins and the customer proposition.

At Groceryshop, sessions relevant to this theme will cover end-to-end supply chain planning, the use of data and AI in decision-making, associate adoption of store technologies, fulfillment costs and AI governance. Other sessions will examine how retailers can coordinate assortment, pricing and promotional decisions.

Coresight Research Insight: Our retail technology trends for 2026 include agentic AI for supply chain decision support, warehouse simulation, real-time inventory visibility and AI-enabled associate tools. These applications address different parts of the retail operating model, but each depends on timely and consistent data. Their value should therefore be assessed against specific operational measures, such as availability, forecast accuracy, labor productivity, fulfillment cost or reduced losses.

Coresight Research also identifies supply chain agility as a theme in its 2026 US retail outlook. Scenario planning and greater visibility across retailers and suppliers can help organizations respond to disruption and adjust inventory decisions. However, technology does not remove the need for clear accountability. Retailers will need processes for reviewing automated recommendations, managing privacy and security, and supporting employees as tools and responsibilities change.

3. Meeting Consumer Expectations

Grocery shoppers assess value through more than price alone. Product availability, convenience, delivery speed, quality and dietary suitability can all affect where and how they shop. At the same time, pressure on household budgets continues to encourage comparisons across retailers, brands and private-label alternatives. Retailers must therefore decide how to serve different shopping missions without adding unnecessary complexity.

Health and wellness considerations are also influencing grocery baskets. Consumers may look for products that support particular nutritional goals, dietary requirements or lifestyles while continuing to expect affordability and convenience. Retailers and consumer brands need sufficient shopper insight to determine which preferences are broadly relevant and which require more targeted assortments or communications.

At Groceryshop, sessions relevant to this theme will examine how online grocers balance value, speed and profitability; how retailers build products and assortments around dietary preferences; and how retailers and brands communicate value and affordability to consumers.

Coresight Research Insight: Our 2026 US grocery market analysis identifies value-seeking, quick commerce, health and wellness, and AI-supported shopping among the factors shaping competition. The combination of these factors means that consumer demand is not moving in a single direction. Some shoppers prioritize low prices and private label, while others place greater weight on speed, fresh food, convenience or products that support health-related goals.

The 2026 Coresight Research US online grocery survey found that 37.9% of online grocery shoppers conducted most or all of their online grocery shopping through rapid-delivery services in the past year. The survey also found that around 60% of GLP-1 users had used an online meal-kit subscription service, compared with 26% of respondents overall. These findings highlight distinct demand for convenience- and health-focused offerings, reinforcing the need for retailers to tailor fulfillment options, assortments and pricing to different consumer groups.

4. Retail Media Opportunities and Challenges

Retail media enables retailers to use their shopper relationships, transaction data and owned channels to provide advertising opportunities to brands. As the market has expanded, retail media networks have moved beyond sponsored search and other conversion-focused formats to include off-site, connected-TV and in-store media. This broader role increases the need to connect campaign activity with both brand and sales objectives.

Advertisers are also asking for clearer measurement and greater consistency across networks. Differences in definitions, attribution methods and reporting can make performance difficult to compare. Within retail and consumer brand organizations, media, marketing, sales and commercial teams must coordinate budgets and goals if retail media is to be treated as part of a wider marketing plan rather than as a separate activity.

At Groceryshop, sessions relevant to this theme will address the expansion of in-store retail media, measurement and other barriers to growth, the automation of retail media investment and the alignment of retail media and commercial teams within consumer brand organizations.

Coresight Research Insight: We estimate that the global retail media market will reach $203.9 billion in 2026, representing year-over-year growth of 14.0%. Coresight Research expects retail media to continue expanding, while the emphasis shifts from the launch of new networks toward optimization and differentiation. Full-funnel formats, in-store media, AI-supported campaign processes and the use of first-party data are among the areas it identifies for 2026.

The expansion of agentic commerce introduces an additional consideration. If AI shopping tools take on more of the discovery and purchase process, retailers and brands may need to adapt advertising formats and decide how to communicate with both consumers and AI agents. Alongside this longer-term issue, retailers still need to address current challenges in attribution, standardization, inventory and organizational coordination.

5. Unified Commerce and Omnichannel Marketing Strategies

Consumers routinely use stores, websites, apps, marketplaces and delivery platforms within the same shopping journey. Retailers must therefore coordinate product information, inventory, pricing, promotions and customer data so that channel choice does not create unnecessary friction.

Unified commerce also has organizational implications. Separate store, e-commerce, merchandising and marketing teams can have different priorities and measures of performance, even when they serve the same customer. Retailers and brands need operating structures that support shared decisions while retaining the specialist skills required for areas such as the digital shelf, performance marketing and in-store execution.

At Groceryshop, sessions relevant to this theme will cover digital product discovery, organizational approaches to omnichannel retail, digital-shelf capabilities, assortment management across channels and the relationship between brand-building and performance marketing.

Coresight Research Insight: Coresight Research defines unified commerce as the integration of channels and touchpoints around the shopper, rather than the management of each channel as a separate business. This approach can give retailers a more consistent view of inventory and customer activity and can support services such as delivery, collection and cross-channel returns. It also requires shared data and decision-making across functions that may previously have operated independently.

The August 2026 Coresight Research report Retail-Tech Landscape: Online Shopper Convenience highlights that AI-driven traffic to US retail websites increased by 393% year over year, while Walmart’s same-day delivery network now reaches 93% of US households. As product discovery and fulfillment expand across AI platforms, retailer websites, apps and stores, retailers need shared product, inventory and customer data to provide a consistent experience across touchpoints.

6. Winning and Engaging Customers

Grocery shoppers can compare prices and move among retailers with relatively little effort, making repeat engagement an important consideration for retailers and brands. Loyalty programs, memberships and apps can provide savings and convenience while also helping retailers understand shopping frequency, category preferences and responses to promotions. The effectiveness of these tools depends on whether customers see clear and continuing value in using them.

Personalization can make communications and offers more relevant, but it requires sufficient data and an appropriate level of customer consent. Retailers must decide which benefits should be broadly available and which should be targeted, as well as how digital engagement connects with the store experience. Measures such as active participation, frequency, retention and incremental spending can provide more information than membership enrollment alone.

At Groceryshop, sessions relevant to this theme will examine how retailers use apps and loyalty programs across online and in-store journeys, respond to brand-agnostic shoppers, structure membership programs and develop one-to-one personalization.

Coresight Research Insight: Coresight Research has identified first-party loyalty data as a resource that can help grocery retailers understand, segment and reward customers. Retailers can use this information to develop more relevant incentives and recommendations, but the loyalty program must first give shoppers a reason to identify themselves and remain active. Savings may be central to the proposition, while convenience, services and exclusive benefits can broaden the role of a membership.

Coresight Research estimates that the $1.6 trillion US grocery market will grow by 2.1% in 2026, slowing from 3.3% in 2025, while online grocery sales will increase by 22.3% to $107.9 billion. This divergence accompanies a widening divide between consumers prioritizing value and those seeking health, wellness and convenience. Retailers must therefore tailor pricing, assortments and fulfillment options to distinct customer needs rather than relying on a single definition of value.
