Everyone’s talking about it. Everyone, it seems, is doing it.
We’re talking digital here: communicating online with each other, swapping data electronically with our suppliers and customers, and interacting via iPads, smartphones and goodness knows what else with our shoppers.
All sorted. Or is it?
Peter Hinssen, one of our expert speakers at the ECR Europe conference in Brussels next month, refers to it as the “new normal”. Yet the fast-moving world of online retailing still sometimes seems anything but normal.
And turning digital talk into profits is not always straightforward either. Sébastien Badault, MD for Strategic Accounts SEEMEA at Google, one of the biggest online names of all, will have a view on that.
Alongside them will be four more digital experts - Barney Burgess (COO Grocery Home Shopping, Tesco), Olivier Marcheteau (President Cdiscount.com, Groupe Casino), Georges-Edouard Dias (SVP Digital Business, L’Oréal) and Swinda Hagedoorn (Director, Global Industry Solutions, TNT Express).
If you would like to know what’s normal - and what’s about to become normal - in the digital world, reserve your place now (digitally of course) on http://conference.ecrnet.org/ and take your seat with us on 9-10 May.
