Certain things about the retail industry may never change, such as the strength of a brand. Building a quality product and establishing a sterling reputation among customers are just as important now as they ever were. However, omnichannel commerce, the advent of mobile devices and improvements in point of sale technology have created a new shopping environment, and merchants will be able to learn more about these topics at the Retail Pro Global Conference held in Barcelona next month. 

To address the different needs of and questions about the industry, Retail Pro will hold its Business Partner Summit on October 18 – 20, and the Customer Summit on October 20 – 22. Presenters will discuss the future of the market and how merchants can improve the customer experience while integrating new trends into their ongoing operations. 

Customers will be able to hear from Keith Conner, Director of Product Management, and Ket Venethongkham, Director of Retail Pro University, during their "Ways to Grow Your Business Using Mobile POS" presentation. The speakers will address how technology is changing the retail environment and what merchants can do to stay current with these trends as well as shopper expectations.
