Details

This event is once again in the beautiful city of Miami! We’re looking forward to gathering senior retail executives in operations, design, digital, and technology and we can’t wait to see the community together again!

At this event, you'll learn how leading retailers are integrating a hybrid approach to their in-store experience by balancing high tech with high touch. You'll walk away with actionable strategies for using store technology effectively, retooling your front-line associates and creating the next generation of store experience.

• Elevate Your Conference Experience
Unlike large trade shows, this event provides a boutique event experience with carefully curated programming and immersive networking opportunities for senior in-store, omni-channel, design and operations retail executives. From exclusive retailer-only discussions to small-group workshops, you will get premiere access to the latest trends and practical applications of in-store technology and strategy.

• Meaningful Networking at Every Corner
Year after year, this event brings together the right people in the right place at exactly the right time. Your event experience is handcrafted so that you meet retail trailblazers and tech innovators everywhere you turn. Roundtable discussion groups, creative think tanks and 20+ hours of structured (and unstructured) networking activities allow you to develop lasting connections and memories.

• See the Stores of The Future. Today.
Step outside of the conference walls and enhance your learning through real world, immersive experiences in beautiful Miami, FL. Our esteemed store tours in Miami’s lively retail hub provide you with an all access pass to the most innovative retail spaces. Get inspired by gorgeous design, the latest technology and see experiential retail in action.
