The first roadshow on AI and Frontline Execution
Every strategy survives the boardroom.
Few survive the shift.
For CEOs, COOs and VP Ops who want every location to run like their best one, not someday, now.
13 events across Europe, two conversations that matter: AI and the future of operations, with food and drinks on us. No panels full of buzzwords, just the right people in the room talking about what actually works on the floor.
Be there, or hear about it second-hand.

The agenda
Your peers are already in the room
Why does your best location still feel like an exception? Because scaling what works on the floor is one of the hardest problems in multi-location operations, and chances are, someone else in the room is trying to solve it too.
A sharp deep dive into AI and frontline execution, followed by food, drinks and the kind of conversations you don’t get from another webinar. Only 15 seats available for each city.
- 1
Arrive
Coffee in hand. No slides, no stage, no name badges.
- 2
Talk
Two AI-for-ops questions, picked for the room. Real numbers, off the record.
- 3
Listen & eat
Your peers say what worked, what quietly failed, and what they would never post on LinkedIn. Food and drinks on us.
What we will actually talk about
01
The AI your store managers would actually use
Not another dashboard. Three priorities in their hand at 8am, in their language, for their location. What that changes in a week, and what it costs to get there.
02
What AI is already doing to labour and margin
Forecasting, scheduling, task load, shrink. Where operators are seeing real points of margin, and where the promised savings never showed up.
03
The manager is the bottleneck, and the multiplier
One strong manager beats any rollout plan. How AI shortens the gap between your best location and your median one instead of adding to the manager's workload.
04
HQ spend vs. floor impact
You have bought the BI, the apps, the AI pilots. How much of it reaches the person working the shift on a Saturday, and what a CEO should cut first.
13 cities, only 15 seats each
Pick the stop closest to you. Every request is reviewed so the room stays filled with operators comparing real numbers, not vendors pitching slides.

Put your city on the map
HostYour city missing from the route? Host the room with us. Venue, food and drinks are on us — you just bring the operators worth having at the table.
Once a city is fully booked, we do not add chairs. The value is in the size of the conversation, not the room.
In the room with you
Guy Van NeckCEO & Founder, KHOVALinkedIn
Alex JerejianChief Operating Officer, Salsa ShopLinkedIn
Salvatore GrizzantiGeneral Manager, Open BaladinLinkedInAround the table: CEOs, COOs, VPs and Directors of Operations from retail and hospitality groups running anywhere from 20 to 500 locations, plus the ops and store excellence leads who own what actually happens on the shift.
Who is behind the room
Built by people who’ve spent ten years inside frontline operations.

brands
We spent years working with brands in retail and hospitality, frontline teams and managers, helping them do their jobs better. Then we watched what separates the locations that hit their numbers from the ones that don’t.
Training matters, but it can’t tell managers what to prioritise when every day is different. That’s why we built KHOVA.
