Sunny Barcelona, Spain, will play host to this year's Retail Pro Global Conference. In less than two weeks, Retail Pro Business Partners and Customers will be able to speak with their colleagues from across the world about upcoming trends in omnichannel sales, how retail intelligence is changing the shopping landscape and what they can do to adapt the point of sale<\/a> to an increasingly mobile-oriented consumer base. <\/p>\n

Split into two parts, the Retail Pro Business Partners Summit will be held on October 18-20, and will be followed by the Customers Summit on October 20-22. The agendas for both events are available at https:\/\/www.retailpro.com\/Community\/2013Conference\/Agenda.php<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Henry Helgeson, CEO of Merchant Warehouse, will be among one of the many speakers meeting with Retail Pro Customers. His presentation, "Opportunities in Mobile Commerce: Why Retailers Hold the Power," will map out the role mobile payments will play in the future and how merchants can ensure they integrate smoothly into online and offline purchases.<\/p>\n

Business Partners will have their own smartphone and tablet-focused session with Kevin Connor, Retail Pro Director of Product Management, and Ket Venethongkham, Director of Retail Pro University. "POS<\/a> for the Mobile-Centric Consumer" will detail how the POS must move to a more flexible model that reflects the way customers prefer to shop. <\/p>\n

Retail Pro Business Partners and Customers can register now for the 2013 Global Conference at https:\/\/www.retailpro.com\/Community\/2013Conference\/Registration.php<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
