The rapid evolution of retail technology is changing how consumers shop and merchants operate, but staying up-to-date with all of these changes can be difficult. Separating hype from reality, as well as knowing what recent innovations are most beneficial to business intelligence, management and improving the customer experience, can also be hard. 

Because of this, Retail Pro Business Partners and Customers can attend the upcoming 2013 Retail Pro Global Conference being held in Barcelona, Spain, later this month. The Business Partner Summit will be held between October 18-20, while the Customer Summit is scheduled for October 20-22. Detailed agendas for both events are available at https://www.retailpro.com/Community/2013Conference/Agenda.php. 

In addition to presentations about omnichannel retail, m-commerce and other important topics, a Customer Forum will allow participants to ask what's on their minds to professionals from around the world, or provide their insight into the state of the industry. For Business Partners, Kerry Lemos, CEO of Retail Pro International, will address the transformation of the sales landscape and how decision-makers can play a leading role as it continues to advance.
