2. How is technology transforming the in-store shopping experience in retail stores today and tomorrow? 3. What is the impact of analytics on retailers’ ability to create an elevated experience that will delight shoppers and increases conversion rates and average transaction value? 4. Which categories of technologies should retailers be focused on in this store transformation?
