While the program is being developed, the page will be frequently updated. Here are some highlights of the program:
In her keynote “Future is made of courage”, the book author, economist and ergonomist Simone Gerwers suggests not to react to the current crises with worry or even fear, but with an “outburst of courage”. Of course, this is also needed in retail, which has to face special challenges.
Ralf Haberich, CEO of the specialist for shopping apps and omnichannel, Shopgate, shows under the title “What customers really expect… is not a coffee bar in the store”, how digital and stationary sales platforms can be intelligently connected to form a customer-centric omnichannel solution. In his speech, Haberich will also present the results of a current study for which 2,300 consumers and retailers from various sectors were surveyed on behalf of Shopgate.
What new technologies such as NFT or the Metaverse mean for the future of retailing is the topic of Marilyn Repp, Deputy Managing Director of the Digital Center Retailing in the HDE, the German Retailing Trade Association.
At the ImagingExecutives@PHOTOPIA congress, experts from the photo and imaging industry will discuss which product categories the photo sector promise to appeal to new target groups. Of course, imaging and printing services also play a role here: Cewe board member Dr. Reiner Fageth will show how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can support customers in selecting their best images while protecting their privacy at the same time. Representing one of the largest Ringfoto member, the management of Foto Erhardt will explain how an owner-managed company can operate successfully on the market and grow profitably despite declining demand on the camera market and tough competition from well-funded competitors. The program of the B2B conference will be expanded to include other topics over the next few days, e.g. B. the growing importance of moving images and successful concepts for the accessories business.
