We continuously monitor the retail channel to maintain an exclusive database and produce an incomparable Event. As the IT market evolves worldwide, the changes are both positive and negative, resulting in a 10-20% turnover of organizations that meet our criteria. RetailVision guests are senior executives from retail and distribution companies.
What are Private Boardroom Appointments? How do we make the most of this time?
For 15 minutes, Vendors are offered a private forum with a small group of Retailers and Distributors to exchange product, service, and programme information targeted to the specific needs of the channel. We encourage you to design innovative presentations that generate dialogue between you and the Retailers/Distributors - make new product announcements, introduce new programme options, and test market ideas. We've heard time and again from attendees that the most productive Private Boardroom Appointments are those that allow for interaction and feedback between Retailers, Distributors, and Technology Providers.
Can Vendor delegates attend other Vendor boardroom meetings?
No, Vendor sessions are reserved for Retailers and Distributors, and the information delivered there is strictly confidential.
Can we organise product demonstrations during our boardroom meetings?
Yes, but be aware that after each session you might have to empty the meeting room for the next session. If you need special arrangments for your demonstration, please ask for our assistance.
