Technology is driving everything from consumer behavior to back-of-house operations. Our dedicated CIO Council has developed a robust conference experience to make the 2015 technology program and pavilion at FMI Connect an invaluable experience for our attendees.
When you have questions about retail technology and innovation come to the Retail Technology Pavilion for answers. The pavilion features technology providers and hourly activities to help you make better decisions about how to integrate and upgrade your business technology needs.
This year we’ve added so much more to this well trafficked area. In partnership with The Meeting Pool, we are going to have experts on hand to provide the latest information about wearable technologies like Google Glass and the new Apple Watch. Additionally, as more and more industry professionals are working from non-traditional locations, we’re bringing you Tech Bytes—20 minute talks on technology content— to help you make sense of some of the most popular apps to support your out of the office schedule including support with productivity, travel arrangements, conference calls, scheduling and more. If you need assistance with any of your personal technology, visit the FMI Tech Bar during the FMI Expo for support.
In addition, many of our exhibitors and education speakers will host their own Tech Bytes, topics to include:
- Social Engineering
- Emerging Technologies to Drive Operational Performance and Associate Behavior
- Starved of Success? Food for Thought for Online Hungry Retailers
- And much more!
