What’s in it for me?

Attending the conference is not enough as a key stakeholder in the retail, e-retail and e-commerce industry. You need to extract maximum value out of the events and discussions planned for each event. The first tip to make the most out of your attendance is to prepare in advance by going through the agenda and reading up on all the speakers and attendees. Attend with the mindset of scoring a potential business prospect, customer, or investor. Be ready on your pitch points, so that you don’t miss out on valuable opportunities.
