🚀 That’s a wrap on Sainsbury’s Tech Con 2026: Beyond Next Level! 🚀 What an incredible day of innovation! Today, we brought together over 2,000 colleagues and suppliers to connect, collaborate, and explore what it truly means to go #BeyondNextLevel. With a buzzing main stage, two packed TED-style talk rooms, and dozens of brilliant supplier exhibitors, the energy was electric. We explored a huge range of future-facing topics, from adaptive resilience and agentic commerce to the future of AI autonomy and the importance of understanding the threats AI poses. A massive part of today was recognising the people and partners going above and beyond to help us reach our goals. Huge congratulations to all of our award winners, with a special shoutout to: 🏆 Colleague of the Year: Alex Garner 🏆 Partner of the Year: SoftServe 🏆 Team of the Year: Pollen 🏆 Collaboration of the Year: CCT Release 1 (Sainsbury’s, Accenture, SAP & AWS) An event of this scale wouldn’t be possible without our incredible sponsors. A massive thank you to Snowflake, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Tata Consultancy Services, and Barclaycard Payments for helping us bring this vision to life. The future of retail tech is here, and we’re just getting started! 🙌 #SainsburysTechnology #SainsburysTechCon2026 #LifeAtSainsburys
