Every day, in every session you have the opportunity to make valuable business contacts, connect one on one with other retailers and catch up with friends. During sessions and outside of them, we want you to meet people at the event. Below are some of the ways you’ll do just that!
Okay ladies, let’s get information! Listen and be inspired by an accomplished panel of fierce femmes; then, cultivate new friendships and discuss the issues that were raised on the panel.
During Lightning Rounds, each speaker tells you in ten minutes their best tips for the topic at hand. Listen in, you don’t want to miss a key insight that will affect your retail outlook.
No one wants to sit through presentation after presentation, over and over! Remix your experience! You’ll chat in groups and solve a key challenge raised during a case study presentation.
Validate your ideas. Inspire others. Discover partnering opportunities. Only at eTail, a forum for key stakeholders to discuss “Open Innovation.” In these closed door afternoon sessions, exercise your minds, build a brain-trust, and leverage those who truly have their pulse on tomorrow’s technology. Together, discuss retail’s current environment, and where you think areas of growth (or decline!) may be.
Let’s get interactive! After a group chat, you’ll get your challenges solved in small groups and talk about a key area discussed in the panel.
