Treasure Data has been a power player at NRF for years, and for good reason—retailers are among the biggest buyers of customer data platforms (CDPs). NRF isn’t just another event for us—it’s a high-stakes battleground where we connect directly with the data and marketing leaders shaping the future of retail.

But we don’t do booth small talk. Our strategy goes deeper. That’s why a large portion of our booth is dedicated to private, high-impact meetings—where real decisions get made. Whether pre-planned or spontaneous, these sessions let us cut through the noise and get straight to solving real business challenges.

At NRF, we had raw, unfiltered conversations with retailers about their biggest data struggles—from breaking down silos to activating real-time insights for hyper-personalized engagement. And the momentum didn’t stop on the show floor. We’re continuing strategic talks with several major retailers, showing them how AI-driven, smarter customer data strategies can fuel customer acquisition, retention, and lifetime value.

 We don’t just show up at NRF—we expand our influence. Thanks to powerhouse partners like AWS, we extended our reach beyond our own booth, tapping into a prime audience of data-driven innovators looking to take personalization to the next level.

Built on AWS, Treasure Data CDP is engineered for scale, speed, and intelligence. Their team gave us direct access to high-intent visitors eager to unlock real-time, AI-powered customer engagement.

NRF 2025 made one thing clear: Retail’s future belongs to those who master AI and data. Some key takeaways:

AI-powered personalization is the new standard – Retailers aren’t just talking about AI; they’re actively investing in AI-driven personalization to boost customer engagement and sales. Real-time, hyper-personalized experiences were a hot topic across booths and sessions.

At NRF, I didn’t just moderate a panel—I led a high-impact discussion on the future of retail, customer data, and AI. Sharing the stage with Sachin Shroff, VP of CRM, Loyalty & Marketing Tech at Michaels, and Art Sebastian, CEO of NexChapter, we tackled real-world retail transformation and the power of data-driven innovation.

• Real-time personalization is a game-changer. Michaels is using timely, data-driven actions—like abandoned cart emails—to turn online engagement into in-store foot traffic and deeper customer loyalty.
• AI is only as good as your data. The panelists made it clear: AI without a rock-solid data foundation is worthless. CDPs aren’t just a tool—they’re the backbone of scalable, high-impact AI strategies.

With a packed audience and strong engagement, this session proved one thing—the future of retail is fueled by AI-powered, customer-first data strategies, and Treasure Data is leading the charge.

Speaker Experience: If your executive participated as a speaker at any panel, we’d love to hear about the message shared and the audience’s response. A picture of the executive on the panel would be great to include.

Visitor Perspective: Reflect on your experience as a visitor to NRF 2025. What were your key takeaways? Were there any themes or trends that stood out to you? Share your thoughts on the energy and buzz at the event. Pictures of your team or representatives visiting NRF would add a nice touch.

CDPs are the foundation for AI success – The message was loud and clear: AI is only as good as the data feeding it. Without a unified, high-quality data layer, AI initiatives fail to scale and deliver real business outcomes.

Seamless omnichannel is no longer a differentiator—it’s expected – Retailers now understand that online and offline experiences must be fully connected. AI-driven customer journeys and real-time insights are critical to bridging in-store and digital interactions.
