Get a front row seat to what’s trending in the retail industry! With an emphasis on the evolved customer journey, where content, community and commerce converge, the Retail Innovation Conference is known for curating thought-provoking sessions and conversations that reflect the industry’s most pressing topics.
This year’s event will have a more streamlined agenda with three highly focused conference tracks:
You’ll learn from top-tier retailers and brands in the conference sessions and innovative solution providers in the Expo Hall. The best part? Conference sessions and Expo Hall sessions will not overlap this year, making it easier for you to experience and digest all the tactical and actionable content we’ll have available!
Come to Chicago during the best time of year (summertime!) to learn from 80+ of the most influential leaders in the retail industry, revealing forward-thinking strategies to bring back to your business. You’ll hear from innovative leaders who will share their experience and knowledge to equip business leaders like you with the information you need to drive growth and reimagine retail innovation in store and online. VP level and above executives will dive deep into how they are leveraging new marketing channels, community platforms and commerce technologies to provide an optimal customer journey. Heritage retailers and emerging brands you’ll learn from include Michaels, Liquid Death, Petco, Babylist, The Home Depot, American Girl, Pinterest, Walgreens, Roku, CVS Media Exchange, Spotify, Sweet Loren’s, Branch Basics, IKEA and many more!
