Todd Hale, SVP of Consumer and Shopper Insights of Nielsen Research, will address the past, present and future landscape of retail during his keynote address at the GlobalShop store design and shopper marketing trade show and conference. The 20th Anniversary event is being held in Las Vegas, February 29 to March 2, 2012.
In his keynote session, titled “Insights Into Our Economic Recovery: Tracking Trends That Matter,” Hale will discuss the ways retailers can drive sustainable growth.
The show’s opening session will be delivered by Dr. David Bosshart, CEO of Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, a non-profit organization which conducts scientific research in the social and economic fields. Bosshart’s presentation ― titled “The Slower You Move, The Faster You Die: What the Acceleration of Just About Everything Means For Retail and Shopping” ― will focus on the dividing lines of shopping channels, from brick-and-mortar stores to e-Commerce web sites.
