An evaluation of 6 key ecommerce, in-store and delivery technologies unveiled at CES 2024

The marketing community watched fervently last month as Walmart CEO Doug McMillon — during his keynote presentation at the annual CES show in Las Vegas — introduced an Olympian team of technology leaders to share details about the retailer’s artificial intelligence-driven roadmap for the future of shopping.
