August 12 - 15, 2024
Boston Marriott Copley Place, MA
First Year Attended: 2016
How I've Participated: Speaker
My eTail Highlights: I was tasked with researching technology firms to upgrade some of my former company’s systems. By the time I was done touring the exhibit hall at eTail East 2016, my research was done! I immediately began scheduling appointments with firms to meet at the office.
Lori Hawthorne reached out to me late 2015 to participate at the West coast event. I decided to come back to attend the conference in Boston because I was hooked on meeting some of the best minds in the business. I came back from each event with a completely changed perspective on how we could reinvigorate our business operations.
Just before the event I was assigned to research the different solutions offered by technology firms to upgrade our systems. My research started and ended at eTail East – the exhibit hall was my one-stop research shop for the best technology firms in the retail industry. My former company is currently in talks with some of these companies to sign service contracts!
I am now looking for opportunities with other retail companies. But eTail remains my go-to conference for quality speaker, quality content and quality vendors. Hopefully, I get to come back to eTail in 2017 representing a new retail firm!
