Andrew Neale

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.”

The day-long conference on Wednesday, January 8, will explore new commerce techniques for improved searches, new physical experiences using AR and VR, the processing of large datasets to create efficient retail, robot’s role at retail, and new frontiers including supply chain/blockchain, smart tagging, frictionless payments, and interactive shopping experiences. Sessions begin at 9 am PST and run into the evening, concluding at 5 pm PST.
