The Consumer Goods Forum Global Summit 2026

Vienna, 23 to 26 June 2026

Beyond SaaS: How AI is changing enterprise architecture strategy

The SaaS era is coming to an end and AI is rewriting the rules of enterprise architecture — but most CPG organizations are still building for yesterday's economy. At CGF 2026, NTT DATA's global industry experts challenge the assumptions behind today's technology roadmaps and explore what it truly means to architect for autonomy, real-time decision-making and a retail landscape that doesn’t stand still.

The Consumer Goods Forum Global Summit is the exclusive destination for CEOs and C-level executives to navigate the future of the consumer goods industry. This premier, members-only forum brings together retail and manufacturing leaders, fostering high-level networking and peer-to-peer exchange. Together, we’ll share strategic perspectives on today's most pressing challenges.

Join us in Vienna 23 - 26 June 2026.
