I’m flying back to Australia today having been at the Shoptalk conference in Las Vegas this week, as well as in Los Angeles looking at some innovative retail.
Shoptalk was extraordinary. Thousands of attendees. Hundreds of sessions. Hundreds of tech suppliers. Thousands of retail businesses represented.
While I will have more to say on some of the insights next week, I’d note that the extent of change in retail is bigger, and faster, than I can remember. And, the nature of the change is such that no retailer can sit it out.
It’s been a scary, inspiring and affirming week. I am grateful for the opportunity to attend and immerse myself in all that was shared.
Now, here’s a snippet of one of the live entertainment pieces between keynote speakers.
