P2PI’s Retail Media Summit, now in its fifth year, is the only event purpose-built to help CPG brands elevate their retail media performance. This is where commerce, shopper and media leaders come to solve real execution and ROI challenges, and to see the future of retail media.

Retail Media Summit is designed for commerce marketing professionals working in:

  • retail media
  • shopper marketing
  • brand marketing
  • retail and CPG strategy

The event is ideal for CPG brands, retailers, agencies, and technology partners looking to stay ahead of data-driven shopper engagement.

We’re back in the heart of downtown Chicago! Retail Media Summit will be held at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel from June 2–4, 2026. Known as North America’s longest-operating hotel with a notable history of innovation, the Palmer House was the first hotel to incorporate the light bulb, the telephone and the vertical steam lift (elevator) as well as being the creator of one of the world’s most adored confections, the brownie. A perfect setting for innovative conversations? We think so.

The Retail Media Summit agenda features a mix of keynote presentations, expert panels, case studies, and interactive discussions designed to deliver insights that will shape the future of your business. The agenda is organized into content tracks so attendees can explore specific areas of interest within retail media and commerce marketing. These tracks help guide your experience and ensure you can focus on the topics most relevant to your role and business goals.

Of course! Retail Media Summit offers multiple networking opportunities throughout the event, including happy hours, award receptions, networking breaks and interactive sessions. These experiences are designed to help attendees build valuable connections with industry peers.
