Analytics Unite 2027

Analytics Unite runs April 14–16, 2027 at Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago.

What it is

Analytics Unite is an executive conference on data and analytics for retail and consumer goods companies. EnsembleIQ produces it, and its awards and research panel carry the Consumer Goods Technology (CGT) name. The organizer bills it as "the only event connecting retail and consumer goods tech executives and partners" to share strategies, use cases and lessons learned.

The 2027 theme is The Next Advantage, which is about analytics moving from a function that supports the business to one that helps shape it. Target titles run from CEO, CIO and chief data and analytics officer to supply chain, e-commerce and shopper insights leaders.

Who can attend

Only qualified retailers and consumer brand manufacturers attend. Solution providers take part through sponsorship packages instead. Several program sessions are closed to vendors and marked as open only to retailers and consumer goods manufacturers, including the opening keynote, a workshop on decision rights in the agentic enterprise, and off-the-record share groups.
