Viva las vegas! This week, Qudini by Verint is attending not one, but two major events in Las Vegas.
Read on to find out more about ShopTalk and CBA Live, what presentations we’re looking forward to and how you can meet Qudini by Verint in Las Vegas.
Shoptalk Line Up
This year, Shoptalk has a fantastic agenda, with lots of industry expert speakers and presentations for just about every job role and seniority. All the major enterprise brands are represented, with attendees including professionals from Adidas, IKEA, Target and L’Oreal.
With so much to see at Shoptalk, we’ve done the impossible and put together a list of the top three presentations to look out for:
1. Building an Omnichannel Organization
I know what you’re thinking. “Omnichannel” has lost all meaning by way of overuse. Thankfully, this Track Keynote is going beyond omnichannel to examine a contemporary retail landscape where shoppers switch seamlessly between physical and digital stores.

- Date: Sunday, March 26
- Time: 2:50 pm — 3:30 pm
- Room: Lyceum Theatre
2. Achieving Personalization at Scale
A transactional, cookie-cutter based approach to retail just isn’t enough in 2023. Consumers want personalized experiences–online and in-store.
This panel will be diving into the latest personalization technologies, tips and tricks retailers should be using to connect with their customers.
- Panelists: Amanda Bopp, Kate Spade, Mike Calvo, Shipt, David Malloy, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., and Veronika Sonsev, Co-Founder, CommerceNext (Interviewer)

3. Innovation Strategies to Thrive in Retail’s Next Decade
As we discussed in our article on Seven New Rules for Retailing During a Recession, reducing investment in retail tech to mitigate economic downturn can cause serious long-term harm to your business.
In this session, leaders from major brands will discuss why technological innovation is at the core of their business models and customer offerings.

1. The Bar for Digital Experiences is High: How Well Are You Meeting Customers’ Needs?
One for the early risers, this morning panel asks some hard questions. Are you meeting your clients’ digital expectations? Could you be doing more?
Ecommerce has fundamentally changed the consumer experience. Consumers want a personalized digital experience that compliments the in-store experience.

2. Loyalty is Fragile: The Art and Science of Keeping Customers Happy While Attracting New Ones
It’s an ugly truth–but a truth nonetheless–that consumers are less loyal today than they ever have been. It’s harder to engage and retain them.
So, how do you stop competitors from poaching clients and keep hold of your market share?
For Charlie and Lisa, keeping customers really is an art-form. Join them in this session to learn what you can do to keep your customers while expanding your client base.
