Shoptalk Spring 2025
Successful Store Design: Case Studies
The physical store is alive and well—especially with nearly 85% of U.S. retail sales still happening in brick-and-mortar spots. But shoppers want more than just a place to buy stuff. They're looking for fun experiences, unique offerings, curated finds, and seamless cross-channel shopping. Join Kevin Kelley (Thursday, March 27 at 2:45PM) as he presents case studies in Successful Store Design for a visually rich presentation in what brings the "wow" factor in stores today.
Shoptalk Spring 2025 will bring together a speaking faculty of over 200 luminaries and 10,000 attendees across retail, consumer brands, and retail tech. It is where the future of retail is defined.
