Lazuli Inc. Hosts Conference on Retail Trends and AI in APAC and Europe

On June 24, 2026, Lazuli Inc., a company based in Shibuya, Tokyo, specializing in AI-driven product data management, will host an insightful report session at Hibiya Sky Conference. The event will begin at 5:30 PM and will feature valuable learnings from three major conferences: NRF APAC, Shoptalk Europe, and Viva Technology.

The target audience for this conference includes retail and e-commerce executives, business leaders, digital transformation champions, marketing heads, and individuals driving data and AI utilization. The Chief Evangelist of Lazuli, Daijiro Ban, will share insights gained from on-site observations at these events, focusing on the latest trends in retail digital transformation, AI applications, and data strategies in various regions.

With the evolution of generative AI, the significance of data utilization in the global retail and consumer goods sectors continues to grow. However, regional disparities in regulatory environments, consumer behaviors, and industrial structures are leading to distinct approaches to AI applications and retail innovations. Lazuli has previously published reports on major U.S. events such as CES, NRF Retail's Big Show, and Shoptalk Spring; now, they are expanding their focus to APAC and Europe, aiming to share practical insights that Japanese businesses can learn from these leading international conferences.

The seminar will cover a range of topics, including the latest trends in retail digital transformation and data utilization in the APAC market, advances in AI applications and customer experience innovations in Europe’s retail sector, insights from startups at Viva Technology, perspectives on AI regulations and data governance in different regions, and actionable suggestions for Japanese companies venturing into the global market. Additionally, it will explore product data strategies required in the era of Agentic Commerce and AI agents.

The agenda for the day is organized into three parts:
1. The first segment will focus on the NRF APAC Report, titled "The Front Line of Retail in the Asia-Pacific."
2. The second part will delve into the Shoptalk Europe Report, showcasing insights from European commerce innovations.
3. Finally, there will be a demonstration of Lazuli products before concluding with the Viva Technology Report, themed "Waves of Technology Innovation."
