Timeframe to Launch: From the time your team commits to a curated MarkeTechnics event, we will match your passion with business partner discovery and deliver the best possible experience for you.



Estimated planning--During the first three months we will:

  • Confirm the specific areas of interest with greater clarity and use the framework to conduct a search and discovery process using the CART database, industry network and FMI knowledge. 
  • Produce for you an initial set of technology and solution providers for review.
  • Propose programming, format and coordinate event details, date and location.

Month four, we will:

  • Produce the customized event – virtual or in-person, to include liaison with all external participants, produce program guide and details for each solution provider, record presentations and distribute solution provider materials to the retail team.

Ongoing, we encourage retailers to keep innovation going and commit to MarkeTechnics' annual activities.
