Modernizing Retail Supply Chains | Oct. 9 | New York, NY

EVENT OVERVIEW

What if your supply chain was as agile, data-driven, and customer-obsessed as your storefront?

Retailers face pressure from every angle: Falling foot traffic, supply volatility, and higher than ever customer expectations—not just product availability, but personalized shopping experiences and delivery and return optionality. Add in inflation, labor shortages, and growing global competition and something’s got to give. Retail leaders need a better way to operate.

This exclusive live event — brought to you by Spinnaker SCA, a company of Publicis Sapient, ToolsGroup, and Planalytics — will be a forum to learn, explore and network with peers. From an insightful keynote to fresh perspectives on the latest retail trends, you'll walk away with ideas to enhance profitability, drive operational efficiencies, and better serve your customers.
