The retail marketplace in America is changing in
profound ways. Explosive store growth, technological advances,
shifting demographics, and unpredictable consumers are all
contributing to this transformation. Add fierce competition from
the nation's retail giants, and it's clear why retailing in the
future promises to be more challenging than ever.
If only we had a crystal ball to see into the future. But there
are no crystal balls. Instead retailers and consumer products
manufacturers must pay attention to the current trends that will
help them gain insight into consumers, the marketplace, and how
these things will affect the retail environment of the future.
Retail and consumer trends addressed in this presentation:
- Will big-box retailers dominate the marketplace of the future?

- The new European invasion and its effect on the fashion business
- Aging Baby Boomers and their continuing impact on the consumer marketplace
- The increasing power and influence of ethnic populations
- Young consumers: Shaping the future of retailing...and more
During these chaotic times, savvy merchants must pay
attention to the trends that will shape their future. In this
insight-packed keynote, retailers and consumer products
manufacturers will learn to identify and capitalize on the
changes destined to impact their businesses over the next five
to ten years.
