    2019/11/27

Mindy Scheier, Runway of Dreams: “Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will!” (Working Girl). Molly Kettle, Zappos Adaptive: “Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion. (Simon Sinek) .Matt Laukaitis, SAP: “Everyone needs to look around themselves and ask, ‘How can I help? What can I do?” (His Mother). Join us for 1 Billion Reasons: Fashion Industry Needs to Adapt.

    2019/10/16
    The buzz: “Living a meaningful, happy life is about creating, sharing and capturing memories earned through experiences that span the spectrum of life’s opportunities” (eventbrite-s3.s3.amazonaws.com).

Message to retailers: Go past the focus on price and 1-day delivery to transform our same-old buying routine into disruptive, game-changing, memorable moments. The experts speak. Dustin Garis, Garis Innovation: “Life is not the number of days you live, it’s the number of days you remember” (Brian Hertzog). Brian Kilcourse, RSR: “…if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?…One step louder” (Nigel Tufnel). Matt Laukaitis, SAP: “You will reach your destination though you travel slowly” (Icelandic). Join us for Retail Memorable Moments: Creating the Unexpected for Consumers.

  • Achieving Nirvana: Consumer Experience Meets Consumer Intimacy.
    2019/07/17
    The buzz: “…Customer-intimate companies are willing to spend now to build customer loyalty for the long term” (hbr.org/1993/01/). As retailers react to the market’s instant gratification expectations, the pressure to move closer to customers physically and digitally is straining their legacy supply chain processes that were built for mass efficiencies. How can retailers create a frictionless supply chain with outsourced providers and determine the right set of priorities amid evolving global economic, social, and consumer trends? The experts speak. Christian Callieri, Tory Burch: “Seeing things from a different point of view can help us understand why other people act the way they do” (Sean Covey). Ward Dingmann, Bob’s Discount Furniture: “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right” (Henry Ford). Praful Karanth, SAP: “All that we are is the result of what we have thought” (Buddha). Join us for Achieving Nirvana: Consumer Experience Meets Consumer Intimacy.
