  • Brick and mortar in-store experiences: best practices to strengthen customer loyalty, salesand more
  • Tech, retail and why you shouldn’t be afraid: welcoming technology into your retail business

 

All retailers are also invited to participate in four new interactive roundtable discussions covering frequently-requested topics with input from key industry thought leaders.

  • Ask the experts: all things retail
  • Retail realities: five hot topics among merchants today
  • Maximizing vendor partnerships
  • Halloween & Party Expo: the present and the future

 

“Our goal is to support the industry and provide retailers with new tools and information so they are aligned for success in their stores and their markets,” said Mike Carlucci, senior vice president of Halloween & Party Expo. “We understand the time commitment of attending an event and want to be sure our visitors leave with the tools in hand to grow their business.”
