The annual Retail Smarter Conference (June 8 & 9 this year at The Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club in Florida) brings together a diverse group of retail and industry participants for two days of speakers, panels, roundtables and networking.
Jim's panel discussion, entitled "Brick & Mortar: The Survival Guide" will explore the different ways brick and mortar retailers are adapting in this economy. The diverse panel will also provide varying viewpoints, tips, and strategies on how retailers plan to thrive and not just survive in this environment. Jim will open the discussion covering topics including omni channel strategies, branding strategy, fraud management, and many more.
“I am very excited to be a part of the Retail Smarter conference. The sharing of vision and ideas from a broad base of speakers adds perspective that I can apply within my own Company.” Said Jim Lewis, CEO of Enhanced Retail Solutions.
