Let's Start the Discussion!

While STORE 2008 is still months away, it's not too early to start talking about the topics, issues, and trends that will be explored on June 2nd and 3rd!

To review some of our recently announced sessions, please visit: http://www.storeconference.ca/

In the meantime, we want to hear your thoughts on a number of topics that we're planning to include on this year's agenda. These include:

• The move from mass to my (think: from television to social networks)
• Consumers' expectations for green options and how the retail industry is responding and leading
• Economic trends that Canada's retailers need to understand
• Marketing return on investment: what benchmarks do you need to be focusing on?
• Energy efficiency: where can you start?
• Human resource development for the future: what do we need to do today to plan for skill needs in the future?
• Loyalty programs: should you develop your own, or develop strategic partnerships? How do you leverage the data to understand and serve your customers?
• Channel Optimization: what are your customers looking for?
• Corporate social responsibility and consumers' changing values
• Collaborative social networks: leveraging customer advocacy
• Supply chain and sourcing
• Organized retail crime across Canada
• and more!
