In the marketing world, there is a lot of buzz around consumer experience and a lot of (justifiable) investment in CDPs. But shopping at a brand's retail location is still the number one experience that a consumer will remember about a brand (and how they feel when they use the products they've purchased). In this session, let's explore ways of bringing that personalized consumer experience to the retail experience (and not in a creepy Tom Cruise Minority Report kind of way).
