Omni Talk sits down with Krystina Gustafson, co-founder of RetailClub and former Shoptalk content chief, to talk about the new AI Deep Dive Retreat launching this September in Huntington Beach. In this candid conversation, Krystina explains how RetailClub is reinventing the retail event experience—ditching the booths and buzzwords in favor of real conversations, collaborative learning, and hands-on AI training.
🔥 What to expect:
- A sneak peek into RetailClub’s first AI-focused retreat
- How the team behind Shoptalk is flipping the traditional conference model
- Who should attend: From AI curious to retail change-makers
- Why now is the moment for building an AI-native retail community
- And how retailers and brands can attend for free and get up to $1,250 in travel reimbursement!
📅 Registration deadline: August 22
