  • In cannabis retail, visibility is everything, from the sales floor to the vault. But keeping tabs on your product, your people, and your safety and compliance standards can feel like a never-ending grind.  




    Join experts from Solink, Dutchie, ILoveCompliance, and Gotham Dispensary NYC to discover how AI-driven video intelligence helps dispensaries connect the dots between their cameras, POS, and operations. You’ll learn how cannabis retailers are leveraging AI to catch loss before it escalates, speed up inventory discrepancy investigations, simplify compliance monitoring, and uncover new ways to run more profitable stores — all using the cameras they already have.  




    Key takeaways:  






    • Learn how operational and compliance blind spots contribute to shrink in cannabis retail and why disconnected systems make it harder to verify SOPs, investigate discrepancies, and prevent repeat issues.  








    • Understand the value of connecting critical systems like video and POS to reduce manual review time and help teams stay audit-ready with less effort.  








    • See how cannabis retailers are using integrated AI video and POS data to cut investigation time, optimize scheduling and merchandising, and ensure brand consistency across all locations.  




    • Explore how AI-driven video intelligence empowers teams to move from reactive problem-solving to proactive loss prevention, streamlined SOP verification, and enhanced operational readiness.
