As retailers continue to focus on maximizing the in-store experience, they need to make strategic decisions when it comes to technology investments. This is especially relevant given the hype around self checkout and mobile technologies. However, most retailers still need to get shoppers into the store first and provide an in-store experience that encourages customers to purchase while ensuring profitable store operations. Tom Coyle from MIT RFID and industry analyst Ann Grackin, CEO of ChainLink Research, will lead the discussion featuring Robert Locke and panelists from Mobeam, Motorola, and ScanLife on how organizations can leverage the right technology innovations to mitigate today-s challenging retail environment.
