About this session
Roundtable N°1 → How AI will impact your online and offline business in 2025.
Do you know how AI will impact your business fundamentals as a consumer brand? We will provide you with practical insight into the revenue effect across all your sales channels, the skills required in your team and potential cost-saving opportunities. No visionary fluff, but clear independent advice on how AI will change your P&L, team structure and IT landscape.
Our simple promise is to go ‘beyond the buzz’. We aim to provide decision-makers in consumer and retail with a clear signal in the noise of modern technology hypes. Researched by our experts and validated by your peers.
What is it?
‘Beyond the Buzz’ is a small invite-only event where we invite 8 business leaders in consumer and retail to share experiences with executive peers and learn about (over-hyped) industry topics. Nothing is recorded or shared, and no competitors will be present, so you will be free to talk about your challenges. You can expect everything to be in business language, stripped of technical terms, so everyone will understand what we say.
Attending this roundtable by Conway & Co is the fastest way to get up to speed with emerging trends and technologies so you understand what needs to happen next. We will do the research and find interesting people to connect with. You can just ask the questions and get the insights you need for decision-making. No preparation or investment is needed.
Why should you join?
Most consultants want to sell you the hype. We aim to do the opposite. Our goal is to rationalise the true impact of emerging trends and technologies on your business fundamentals.
- Peer Networking: Connect with fellow business executives facing similar challenges. These sessions are a unique opportunity to build relationships, exchange ideas, and form valuable partnerships.
- Practical Insights: Stay ahead of emerging trends and technologies shaping the consumer and retail industry. Learn firsthand from experts and other business leaders about innovative strategies and tools driving digital success.
- Sharing Challenges: Discover new operational, marketing, and management strategies by sharing experiences and outcomes. Learn about proven best practices that have led to measurable efficiency, sales, and customer satisfaction improvements
What can you expect?
During this compact 2-hour breakfast session, we will break down a current emerging trend or technology. Our goal is to make it very practical and provide you with a list of actions and next steps. These insights will be linked to your business fundamentals.
- Actionable advice on:
- What does this mean for my strategic initiatives for 2025?
- How will my operational processes be affected in 2024?
- How can I create a roadmap to act on now, next and later?
- Business fundamentals - Understand what the direct impact of AI is on:
- P&L →Where can I expect changes across my profit & loss statement?
- IT landscape → How can I prepare my technology stack for this change?
- Talent management → Who do I need to execute AI-driven initiatives?
- Organisational chart → How will my roles & responsibilities change?
Who is invited?
We exclusively invite strategic business leaders of consumer and retail brands with more than €10M+ in revenue. Some are more digitally mature than others, but that’s where the interesting insights will come from.

Why is this topic relevant?
In summary, AI is poised to have a profound impact on virtually all areas of concern for business executives in consumer & retail, with particularly high impacts on increasing revenues, decreasing costs, and increasing shareholder value. Its influence on attracting and keeping talent, as well as improving sustainability practices, is more indirect, requiring strategic implementation and a focus on long-term benefits.
For every session, we select current industry topics that always connect to one or more of the 7 things business executives care about in defining their strategy.
The 7 Things Business Executives Care About | N°1 - Practical impact of AI |
01 Increasing revenues | High |
02 Decreasing costs | High |
03 Increasing new market share | Medium |
04 Attracting and keeping great talent | Medium |
05 Increasing customer satisfaction | High |
06 Improving sustainability practices | Medium |
