Meijer, Hudson Group, Harry Rosen Top Agenda at Retail Summit

Sept. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- MIAMI — Retailers know 2013 will be the year mobile faces its greatest test, IT spending drifts further into line-of-business decision-making while analytics, big data and — most of all, omnichannel — dominate the agenda.

When it comes to e-commerce, customer engagement, agile enterprise and other major issues, leaders from all corners of the retail executive suite have much to gain from each other. It’s these executives heading up marketing, IT, merchandising, e-commerce, stores and more who will come together for the sixth annual RetailConnections Business Executive Summit, Feb. 24-26, 2013, in Miami.

Registration is now open for this unique gathering of executives who are eager to soundboard and meet with industry peers.

“The size of the audience is large enough to have a good variety of connections and small enough for the time with each to be meaningful,” said Michelle Garvey, who attended the Summit as Global CIO at Warnaco before her recent move to SVP/CIO at Ann Inc.

Indeed, the Summit has been refreshed to provide a laser-focused agenda of interaction throughout, with moderators, presenters and audience all primed to ask burning questions and discuss issues intently and honestly.

Presenters for the Summit announced today include:
• Steve Light, Group VP, Merchandise Operations, Meijer
• Stephen Jackson, CIO, Harry Rosen
• Gary Macrae, SVP, CIO, Hudson Group
• Richard Hastings, Macro Strategist, Global Hunter Securities LLC
• Dan Smith, former CIO, Hudson Bay Company

The RetailConnections Business Executive Summit Feb. 24-26, 2013, is an interactive think-tank experience for senior retailing executives.

“Our events have become increasingly interactive,” said Marc Millstein, President, RetailConnections. “Attendees are as vocal as presenters on stage. We’ve enhanced the format to foster an even more free-form and well-themed exchange.”
