Shoptalk Fall 2025

Explore the future of retail with Valtech: Where innovation and optimization come together across digital and physical touchpoints.

Retail is being redefined in real time by teams navigating the pressure to optimize what’s working while also pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

At Valtech, we believe meaningful progress happens when experimentation and execution are treated not as opposites, but as co-pilots.

At Shoptalk, we’ll be exploring how the dual forces of innovation and optimization shape the modern retail journey and what it takes to thrive at the intersection of both. Whether you're piloting new technologies or scaling proven platforms, we’ll show you how connected, personalized and frictionless experiences come together through truly unified commerce.

Discover your retail tech personality: Innovator or Optimizer?

Come meet us at Booth D12 and explore your digital retail personality.
Are you more of an innovator — focused on testing new formats, AI tools or composable tech? Or are you an optimizer — doubling down on what drives measurable growth, refining omnichannel journeys, aligning platforms and unlocking customer insight at scale?

Whatever your focus, Valtech helps you orchestrate customer experiences that are consistent across every channel, responsive to intent and built to evolve with your business.
