The Inspired Future of Retail
The speed at which the retail industry evolves forces every retailer to be part soothsayer. Retailers must keep their gaze firmly planted on the horizon and be able to accurately predict tomorrow's trends today.

Stephens' opening keynote presentation "Inspired Retailing: Collaborate, Connect, Innovate" will explore how technology is rapidly changing the face of retail and how retailers can best leverage it to ensure future success.
