August 31, 2026
Booper will be participating for the second time in Spot, the retail industry’s back-to-school seminar, in Chantilly on October 1 and 2, 2026. We will be hosting a panel discussion titled “AI & Domain Expertise: Retail’s New Winning Combination,” featuring Ines Ben Amor, Director of AI & Data Science, and Hugues Lafitte, who has 30 years of experience in retail.
"Le Spot," the Retail Industry's Back-to-School Seminar
Once again this year, Booper is participating in Spot, the retail industry’s key strategic event to kick off the new school year. On October 1 and 2, 2026, in Chantilly, some 50 industry experts will gather to help retailers move their projects forward in the second half of the year and prepare for 2027.
One-on-one meetings, masterclasses, and group work sessions: This is an opportunity to address each retail challenge—whether it involves data, AI, customer acquisition, customer loyalty, in-store traffic, pricing, inventory, or costs—directly with the professionals who deal with them on a daily basis.
Booper will be there for his second appearance, with a strong message to share:
Pricing is no longer based on intuition
In the retail sector, decisions regarding pricing, margins, and product assortment have become more complex due to competitive pressure, cost volatility, and customer expectations regarding price consistency. Relying on intuition or spreadsheets alone is no longer enough to ensure strong performance.
Our belief: Pricing is driven by data, simulation, and business expertise—all integrated into a single system—rather than pitted against one another.
Our conference: “AI & Domain Expertise: Retail’s New Winning Combination”
Based on this belief, we will be hosting a conference at Le Spot: “AI & Business Expertise: Retail’s New Winning Combination.” This will be an opportunity to demonstrate, with real-world examples, how AI enhances—rather than replaces—the business expertise of pricing teams, and why this combination makes all the difference in practice.
It will be led by Ines Ben Amor, Director of AI & Data Science, and Hugues Lafitte, who has 30 years of experience in retail.
