Oscar Diaz runs tech and digital innovation at @giiiapparelgroup - the operator behind @dkny , @frenchconnection , @starterofficial and more.
Adnan Somani leads digital tech at @authentic - the operator behind @reebok , @brooks brothers, @sportsillustrated , @champion and 50+ more.
Two operators. Dozens of brand identities. One question hanging over every roadmap: how do you scale AI across all of them without losing what makes each one feel like itself?
That’s the conversation they’re bringing to the CommerceNext Growth Show main stage:
This isn’t a session about whether to use AI. That ship has sailed. It’s about how the people actually shipping AI across massive multi-brand portfolios are protecting brand identity, customer empathy, and the human voice that defines why anyone showed up in the first place.

The CN Growth Show 2026 agenda was built around the exact challenges retail leaders told us they’re facing.
Here are the 5 themes showing up in every conversation right now—and every single one of them has a dedicated track at #CN26.
1. AI platforms will account for $20.57 billion of total US retail ecommerce sales in 2026—nearly quadruple 2025 figures, according to @emarketer . What does it mean for your brand?
2. Profitable growth is the new growth. @shopify and @yotpo report CAC up 222% across 8 years! The era of growth-at-all-costs is over.
3. 57% of shoppers still report largely generic experiences despite wanting personalization, per @amperity ’s 2026 State of Personalization in Retail. Stores are the new performance channel.
4. 62% of brand marketers say first-party data will become more important over the next two years, per @econsultancy . Identity resolution is table stakes now.
5. @bainandcompany reported a 5% retention increase boosts profits 25–95%. CLV is replacing CAC as the north star metric.
Which one are you most focused on heading into H2 2026? 👇
