The retail segment is swelling with innovation and new companies. Join 80+ wireless executives for a executive-format, 1/2 day deep dive on what's new and changing in the retail channel - from getting consumers into stores, the in-store experience, and check-out options.
Smartphones and connected mobile devices mean that consumers are walking around with potential "interactive marketing machines" right in their pocket at all times of the day. So there's no surprise that hyper-local companies like FourSquare and Groupon are mobile-centric, nor that big players like Google, Facebook, Bing (and more) are focused on mobile as the key to driving brick and mortar commerce.
There are many ways to approach this challenge including businesses that are consumer-centric, merchant-centric, payment-centric, Social-centric, savings-centric…and probably more. While some have shown early promise, none has yet proven to be close to the killer app. And mobile can block or redirect a retail sale as easily as it can drive one. In today's meeting, we are going to dive into the various approaches, hear from some of the leaders, and debate the best options for winning consumer adoption. Is this "winner take all" like the app economy, or is there room for dozens of players? Will consumers abstain like they did from Blu-Ray/HD-DVD?
