“Right now, with all the emergent opportunities surrounding the globally uneven return to a post-pandemic landscape, there is no better event to attend in order to educate and inspire organizational decision makers working in retail. “
Taking place virtually on Thursday 11/4, the Future of Retail 2042 event and its associated marquee report are built off of the same process PSFK’s in-house research lab uses when working with the retail teams at category innovators and Fortune 50 companies such as Facebook, Alphabet, and Microsoft.
PSFK and Retail Innovation Week founder Piers Fawkes says, “Right now, with all the emergent opportunities surrounding the globally uneven return to a post-pandemic landscape, there is no better event to attend in order to educate and inspire organizational decision makers working in retail. Through three panel discussions with category thought leaders and executives assembled specifically by PSFK for this event, plus a can’t-miss presentation, attendees will participate in an optimistic dissection of future shopping experiences and consumer behaviors, while gaining exclusive, actionable insights into the current-day trends and ideas powering the next and coming iterations of the retail landscape.”
