Beyond the Hype:
AI Redefining Retail at NRF 2026



Join us in booth #6505

January 11-13, 2026

NYC

Meet us in Booth #6505

Event starts in:

This year’s NRF is all about Artificial intelligence (AI) and with good reason. AI has moved far beyond the buzzword stage to become the engine driving a new era of retail decision-making. It’s not about replacing people, but about empowering teams with the tools to spot patterns, anticipate demand and act with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

At NRF 2026 booth #6505, we’ll showcase real-world use cases, measurable results and how AI is rewriting the rules of retail.

Join GUESS in booth, sharing how a leading brand uses data-driven decision-making to protect margins, sharpen pricing and stay competitive as market conditions change.

Stop by booth #6505 daily at 2:00 p.m. for the 2026 Retail Trends Session.

Powered by Centric Market Intelligence™, this 15-minute rapid-fire session cuts through the noise to highlight the biggest forces shaping the year ahead. The discussion showcases fresh data, emerging consumer shifts and competitive signals already reshaping retail—along with the actions leading brands are taking now. Attendees will leave with a clear, actionable view of what’s coming next and how to prepare for new market opportunities in 2026.

Across the product lifecycle, AI is already delivering impact:

Forecast with Precision – Anticipate demand shifts with AI-powered forecasting that replaces guesswork with clarity.

Price with Confidence – Protect margins and reduce markdowns with dynamic, competitive and lifecycle pricing strategies.

Align Inventory in Real Time – Automate allocation and replenishment to ensure products are always where demand is strongest.

See the Market Clearly – Turn millions of daily data points into instant insights on trends, competitors and consumer behavior.

The industry has reached a tipping point and AI is leading the change. Visit us at booth #6505 to see how AI is transforming retail, fashion, apparel, grocery, food & beverage and cosmetics & personal care. Our experts will walk you through what this evolution means for retail brands and how to stay ahead of the curve.

“Our whole team has just been singing the praises of Centric because of the pain points of tracking something on multiple spreadsheets and then not having it align or some of the information is misrepresented. Having one place where essentially the truth resides, has been a tremendous help for the team and I know that everybody has just been super grateful for this product.”

“We’re growing fast and, in order to develop innovative, high quality products efficiently, we needed a clear overview of who was doing what, where and when. Before Centric PLM, one of our biggest challenges was a lack of accountability, with each department using different tools and platforms.”
