Registration is open for Internet Retailing Expo at the Birmingham NEC 20-21 March and the speaker line up is taking shape. The Social-Local-Mobile (SoLoMo) session already has speakers from PayPal, Pizza Hut, SecretSales , Cooper&Co, Justbought.it, Forrester Research, Group FMG, bemoko and Webreality lined up, with some more big names to be added in the coming days.
The SoLoMo sessions come at a time when retailers need to start to look at how to use these technologies to build a much more digital and engaging proposition for an ever more digital audience and there will be much to learn and discuss.
Aside from SoLoMo, this year visitors will hear from both respected retailers and industry experts speaking in five other conferences and 12 hands-on practical workshops. The other conferences cover subjects from Internet Retailing In-Store, International and Cross-border retail, to The Customer Journey, Online Merchandising and Selling and Operations and Logistics.
Other confirmed speakers already include Sarah McVittie, chief executive of Dressipi.com, Sarah Baillie, mobile commerce manager at Debenhams, Julia Monro, social media manager at Marks & Spencer, Joanna Robb, head of multichannel at B&Q, Ali Holmes, global ecommerce manager at Vodafone and Matthew Curry, head of ecommerce at Lovehoney.
Ian Jindal, Internet Retailing editor-in-chief, said: “IRX 2013 offers a full view of the multichannel ecosystem. It has the best. We have expert vendors covering all aspects of multichannel, from marketing to merchandising and beyond. We have experienced retailers sharing their insights across six conference streams, as well as hands-on learning in the workshops and the experience of the show floor and the innovation pavilion.
“This is a once-a-year brain and commercial ‘hit’ to propel your multichannel business forward.”
