RTIH's inaugural Top 100 AI in Retail Technology Influencers List is now open for submissions

RTIH, publisher of the industry leading Top 100 Retail Tech Influencers List, is pleased to launch its inaugural Top 100 AI in Retail Influencers List.

This is now open for entries (nomination form at the end of this article), with the list going live across our website, printed magazine and social channels in November.

We will be scouring the retail space to find the most influential AI figures for this comprehensive list of people and trends that are shaping the industry and helping drive it forward.

The list celebrates those people who are both promoting the use of and harnessing artificial intelligence across stores, online, supply chains etc, with the aim of enhancing customer and employee experiences, tapping new opportunities, and achieving business transformation.

We’re living in unprecedented times. AI is reshaping every aspect of retail. As innovation acelerates into 2026, retailers face a rapidly shifting landscape, where emerging technologies, new regulatory concerns and pressures, business challenges and opportunities, and customer expectations converge.

Such disruption requires new ways of problem solving and thought leaders who can both evangelise and execute on AI challenges, issues, and benefits.

Which is where the RTIH Top 100 AI in Retail Influencers List comes in.

HOW DO WE IDENTIFY THE TOP 100?

We will be using a variety of sources to select our top 100, including feedback from industry observers, research within our own networks, direct or third-party nominations via our website, and social media tools.

In addition to social presence, we also take into account award winners and judges, event speakers, books published, media appearances, and people building innovative companies, solutions etc in the retail space.
