AWE Nite TO - March 2019

Join us at AWE Nite TO March 2018!

Are Retailers Buying into AR?

On Thursday March 21st we will be talking retail and AR looking at what retailers are actually doing now with AR and discussing the kinds of opportunities that are developing that can shift the buy and selling experience for shoppers in the next five, ten and twenty-five years.

We’ll ask questions like:
-What are the near-term opportunities for retailers and brands to use AR to enhance the customer experience?
-What is already working? What is not?
-Will AR accelerate the shift to e-commerce as the primary channel for retails sales?
-What ways can AR improve the bricks and mortal shopping experience?
-At what point will consumers just expect AR to be integrated?
-What’s it going to take for the industry to reach a tipping point?

Join us for an interactive panel, followed by demos and networking.

***We are still looking for one more company demo, please reach out to Molly at [masked] if interested.
