The High Tech Retailing Summit is a day-long #CES2020 conference which tajes place on January 8, 2019 (there’s also a four day exhibit marketplace where brands, retailers, and technologies can meet to share their innovations).
Robin Raskin, Living in Digital Times Founder told us “Brands and retailers flock to CES each year to discover new technologies they can employ to give them a competitive edge. Technologists are displaying their solutions. We bring them together to share information, ideas and product knowledge that can transform retail. From buying a lipstick to a TV, shoppers have more touch points, more information, and more ways to shop, try, and pay than ever before. High Tech Retailing Summit gives our attendees a first-row seat at the retail transformation.”
