For retail industry professionals to remain successful in difficult economic times or thrive when markets are prosperous requires flexibility, know-how and awareness about some of the latest trends in business intelligence, technology and shopping. With mobile payments and omnichannel marketing poised to change commerce, merchants will want to meet with fellow colleagues from around the globe to learn some of the tricks and best practices when integrating these innovations into their ongoing business strategies and store operations. This month, Retail Pro Business Partners and Customers will have that opportunity by attending the 2013 Retail Pro Global Conference in Barcelona, Spain. 

The 2013 Retail Pro Global Conference will be held on October 18-20 for Business Partners, with a Customer Summit scheduled for October 20-22. The agenda for both events is available at https://www.retailpro.com/Community/2013Conference/Agenda.php.

Customers will hear from Sumit Bathla, General Manager IT-Retail & Electronics at Al-Futtaim, as he discusses the technological strategies that help businesses expand and innovate for an ever-evolving customer experience. Meanwhile, Business Partners can participate in "Success Defined: A Retail Pro Partner Story." Mahesh Gopinath, President at Genie Technologies, and Alexandra Frith, Director of Marketing, will explain some of the ways that merchants can succeed in tough economic times, with examples drawn from personal experience.
