Back-to-school sales are tapering off as September rolls on, while the holiday sales season won't kick off until November – so October is the perfect time for retail industry<\/a> professionals to sharpen their skills and prepare for the year to come. Retail Pro's Customer and Business Partners will have the opportunity to explore, discuss and ready themselves for the changing retail landscape in Barcelona, Spain next month. <\/p>\n

As mobile devices continue to play a more prominent role in the industry, Retail Pro Customers will have the chance to hear the CEO of Merchant Warehouse, Henry Helgeson, talk about how this is impacting the sector in Opportunities in Mobile Commerce: Why Retailers Hold the Power. Helgeson will be discussing how retailers can plan for mobile payments at the point of sale<\/a> and enable a streamlined customer buying experience. <\/p>\n

In turn, Kevin Connor, Director of Product Management, and Ket Venethongkham, Director of Retail Pro University, will address mobile POS<\/a> questions with Business Partners during their POS For The Mobile-Centric Consumer presentation.<\/p>\n

These are but a few of the topics planned for the two events, which will cover some of the most pressing topics and innovations within the industry right now. <\/p>\n

Retail Pro's Business Partner Summit will run from October 18 to 20, while the Customer Summit will be held between October 20 and 22. Both parties can register for the event by visiting https:\/\/www.retailpro.com\/Community\/2013Conference\/Registration.php<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
