08:20 Keynote: Breaking The Rules In Retail: Getting On The Fast Track For Growth And Innovation

Part of eTail’s mission is to showcase fresh and new companies that are not only high growth, but also innovative in their approaches. This panel presents transformative companies that have amazing stories to share, including how and why they’ve achieved success, a break down of their business models, and how they are competing despite operating in a commodity driven environment.

Topics span future trends and emerging business models to the latest technologies. Receive a “future forward” view of the retail during this engaging panel discussion.

What has enabled you to have the success that you’ve had to date?
What areas are you approaching differently as you grew – what were you able to approach differently and reinvent vs. looking at more traditional ways?
What shifts and changes in consumer behavior are you tapping into?
How are you thinking about technology? Are you engaging in more “cutting edge” technology (or are you playing more in the middle)?
