Will the term “going grocery shopping” eventually become obsolete?! From AI to LAMs to JWO, we pontificated on "The Future of Grocery" and the acronyms powering your cart. Our CES panel also covered the importance of anchoring our human experience within our tech experience, and I think you might be surprised at what Jon Jenkins (Amazon), Katie Dombrowski (Pinterest), Ken Perkins, CFA (Kroger) and Ashley Tyrner (FarmboxRx) have to say about these topics! Full video here (free!): https://lnkd.in/gBiEx7Sh I learned a ton and it was such a delight to shape this conversation, thanks to The Spoon for creating the official #foodtech track at CES. cc Vita Vera Ventures
