Agenda
Settle in and refresh before the evening program begins. The hotel is a short drive from VARGO® HQ and conveniently located for all activity throughout the two days. Rooms are blocked - book your room here.
The evening kicks off at VARGO® headquarters with cocktails, informal networking, and an industry panel. Christian Dow of MHI will moderate a panel exploring the innovations reshaping fulfillment — featuring experts from Locus Robotics, OPEX, and EuroSort.
Retailer executives only. This is the heart of the event: a facilitated conversation where peers share what's actually working, what isn't, and what they're prioritizing next. Chris Considine, Partner at AlixPartners, will guide the discussion across shared operational challenges, technology gaps, and the decisions shaping the next phase of fulfillment strategy.
Led by Brooks Hamilton of AI Strategy Advisors, this session moves past the hype to explore where AI is creating real, measurable operational value in distribution and fulfillment environments today — and where retailers should remain disciplined and selective about deployment.

Go behind the scenes at Gap Inc.'s Columbus fulfillment center. Attendees will walk the floor and follow with an open discussion on the technology decisions and trade-offs that define high-performance fulfillment operations at scale.
An open dialogue led by the VARGO® team on the direction of fulfillment technology — where the market is headed, what's on the horizon, and how the tools and systems available today map to where retailers need to be tomorrow. Attendee feedback directly shapes this conversation.
The evening wraps up at VASO Rooftop with dinner, drinks, and the kind of conversation that happens when the right people end the day in the right place. A fitting close to two days of candid exchange and shared perspective.
