DX3 is turning 10 in the middle of the world’s greatest digital acceleration.

It has been a tumultuous time for us all, and yet it has been also the most exciting for those of us in the technology space. We have seen some of our alumni brands shoot to the stars while others have been adapting and evolving. We have seen the rapid growth of small brands, the stumbling of giants, and everything in between. Over the past 10 year, DX3 has always been committed to the nexus of retail, marketing, and technology, and for our 10th annual event, we are taking it a step further. Presenting - DX3 Season 10 with 52+ episodes streaming onMarch 2-5. This season we will explore, what will the future look like post pandemic? Today we are looking forward to what our transformative retail and marketing sectors will look like beyond 2020. The retail landscape is evolving - success of the brand is no longer limited to the depth and breadth of inventory but instead has expanded into creating a safe and long-lasting experience for consumers. Buyers are looking for a more tailored and personalized experience, and marketing plays a crucial role in spreading this message. Emerging technologies help to understand the data with analytical tools, navigate logistics, and enhance user experience. Technology is playing a critical role in reshaping the retail and media landscape in these changing times.
