Smarter Retail Starts Here: Kepler Analytics at Retail Leaders Forum Melbourne May 2026
Kepler is excited to be attending the upcoming Retail Leaders Forum on May 20-21 in Melbourne (20–21 May), where we’ll be connecting with industry leaders and showcasing how data and AI are reshaping the future of retail.
Across both days, the Kepler team will be hosting an activation space, giving attendees the opportunity to explore how retailers are using real-time insights to better understand customer behaviour, optimise store performance, and make smarter decisions at every level of the business.
At the centre of this is K.AI, Kepler’s latest innovation—bringing together foot traffic data, behavioural insights, and AI-driven analysis to deliver faster, clearer answers to the questions that matter most. From identifying performance opportunities to supporting strategic decision-making, K.AI is designed to help retailers move from insight to action, instantly.
Featured Keynote Session (Day 1) Kepler will also take the stage on Day 1 alongside QBD Books, with Kylie Smart (Kepler) and Peta Granger (QBD Books) sharing the story behind QBD Books’ customer experience transformation.
This session will explore:
- How QBD Books has balanced a 150-year heritage with modern in-store experience expectations
- What customer experience transformation looks like for bricks-and-mortar retailers in a digital-first world
- How foot traffic insights and Kepler’s platform are enabling smarter, data-led decisions—from the shop floor through to executive leadership
- Key lessons learned and what’s next for the business
This is a practical, real-world look at transformation in action—grounded in data, experience, and measurable outcomes.
