AI today and in the future

See how AI is affecting network planning and sales modelling today and what it may look like in the future

Today, mobility & spend data, machine learning and generative AI allow us to model footfall patterns, cannibalisation and store forecasts much quicker than 20 years ago. But with all these shiny new tools and dynamic data, what has actually changed about the day-to-day role of making strategic location decisions?

Join us at Software & Consulting Firm, Geolytix (https://geolytix.com/), offices for an evening of honest conversation, practical insights and networking with fellow Society for Location Analysis members.
We’re cutting through the future speculation and AI hype to focus on what works right now: how modern location intelligence tech enhances, rather than replaces, the human intuition and spatial expertise that location planners bring to the table.
