| The AI Tech on Display at the National Retail Federation's 2024 Show |

by Terry Ballard
|
| I might have missed the National Retail Federation event, NRF '24: Retail's Big Show, in New York altogether if it had not been for a public relations person who noticed some of my work writing about artificial intelligence (AI). She asked if I was attending and suggested I speak with the founder of PhotoRoom, an AI-based graphics program. With days to spare, I was able to secure a press pass and show up at the Javits Center on Jan. 15. |
