On June 3, Valtech co-hosted our own intimate event, Innovation Through Time, on the first evening of Shoptalk Europe at the iconic Casa Batlló.

Pascal and Lukas Rose, Head of Strategy and Partner at Valtech RADON, began the evening with a pair of talks on how retailers can cut through the noise and focus on what matters. 

Marie Masselot, Group Product Manager at Ocado, gave us a great overview of how that company has productized their Retail Media Platform.

Afterward, Ashkhen Zakaryan, Valtech VP of Global Strategic Alliances, hosted a panel discussion around the key opportunities and challenges in retail this year. Panel members included:

  • Sven van Hegelsom, Customer Value Director at commercetools

  • Charlie Bell, Senior Director of Solution Engineering at Contentful

  • Solène Le Saout, Head of Partnerships EMEA at Algolia

  • Tal Ofer, Channel and Alliances Director at Cloudinary

After a long day, guests were excited to hear panel members talk shop — how customer behaviors are changing, how technology can connect in-store and online experiences in a way that drives customer engagement, the emerging role of AI — in a cozy setting.

Turnout exceeded our expectations, too. “I heard from a few people, ‘I was planning to be elsewhere tonight, but someone said Valtech is hosting an event at Casa Batlló, and we had to be there,’” Ashkhen said.

We were honored to host our guests. The venue was dreamy and delivered an event that inspired us, our speakers and our guests.

We all appreciated having that moment to look at the biggest trends in retail, critically analyze them, and identify what actionable insights we all needed to bring back to our teams, our clients and our partners.

Casa Batlló for 'Innovation Through Time' sounds absolutely incredible! What a perfect blend of history and future-thinking. It really gets you thinking about the creativity involved in building. Sometimes, though, you just want to use your imagination to build (or playfully smash!) things, like in Melon Playground.

Wow, 'Innovation Through Time' at Casa Batlló sounds absolutely stunning for Shoptalk Europe! What a memorable way to kick things off. It makes me think about how we share modern experiences. I bet an Emoji Translator would be perfect for capturing the vibe of such an innovative event!

Barcelona's Casa Batlló seems like a breathtaking venue for Shoptalk 2024. Imagine the innovation talks echoing through such architectural wonder. Cutting through retail noise is definitely a challenge many face today. Speaking of challenges I once managed a project friday night funkin style where conflicting stakeholder priorities made it nearly impossible to define clear actionable goals eventually requiring intense mediation to achieve a common vision. It looks like the event created opportunities for retail discussion and analysis in a relaxed and inspiring environment.
