Automation with Purpose: The Future of Retail

Automation with Purpose: The Future of Retail

On April 15th in Warsaw, during the 16th edition of the Poland & CEE Retail Summit, Kacper Nosarzewski, Partner at 4CF The Futures Literacy Company, will moderate a panel titled “Automation with Purpose: Managing Costs, Talent, and Technology in Retail” — a space where the future meets practical application.

Why should you join us?

We’ll discuss how to implement automation in retail strategically — cutting through the buzzwords to focus on real, actionable solutions.
We’ll explore how automation is reshaping employee skill sets — from shop floors to marketing departments and B2B teams.
We’ll also dive into sustainability, cybersecurity, and… the limits of automation. Can a strategy itself become a limitation?
And of course, we’ll look ahead: what might happen in retail in the next 2, 5, or even 10 years?

Meet our panelists:

  • Andrzej Cieślik – Shopping Center Manager, IKEA
  • Krzysztof Niciejewski – Supply Chain Director, Macro
  • Michał Chmielewski – Chief Operating Officer, Lantmännen Unibake Poland
  • Leszek Petryczko – Operations Director, Lyreco Group

Moderated by Kacper Nosarzewski, whose unique ability to bridge foresight with business realities makes him the perfect guide for this conversation. With his experience in scenario planning and deep understanding of technological and labor market shifts, this promises to be a truly inspiring session.
