EVENT: BRISBANE 7 MARCH
From bartering stone axes to distributed exchange of digital artefacts: retail has been with us for as long as we can remember. As the digital economy dawns on us, we are all reconsidering our traditional understanding of retail.
Retailers are racing to create competitive advantage. Customer centricity, real-time delivery, highly personalised offers, self-selling stores… Retail as we know is about to change dramatically. A great opportunity for those who prepare for it!
As part of their Chair in Digital Economy initiatives, PwC is inviting retailers to join the conversation in Brisbane this March.
