Advisory Board

The quality and independence of RetailVision Europe is guaranteed by our Advisory Board, comprised of the industry’s most respected leaders and innovators. They meet twice a year and continually provide us with ideas for content, speakers, format, sponsors and attendees. Retail & CE professionals from the major retailers and manufacturing companies ensure that the content is customer led and independent. Leading suppliers, industry associations and renowned international and regional media partners ensure that all perspectives are considered.

Advisory Board Meeting
The first advisory board meeting took place in Amsterdam on Thursday 18th November 2010 at the Hotel Okura. The board comprised of a number of vendors and retailers all of whom have been carefully selected to help us shape the agenda and content topics for next year's event. We are therefore delighted to give you an exclusive first-look at the proposed main topics for RetailVision Europe 2011:

• Online opportunities – where do you start and how do you tackle them?
• Cost of acquiring new customers are escalating – what case studies can help show best practice?
• Is private label a good idea?
• Use of new social media technology - does it justify the investment? Are customers reacting?
• Do consumers want to see more green products on their shelves?
• What green device initiatives are being pushed across Europe and how does this affect manufacturers and retailers?
• Customer retention strategies that have succeeded in the US – what are the lessons for Europe?
• Do loyalty programmes/brokers have a role to play in CE retail in Europe?

This content will of course complement the regular and important contributions from GfK, Planet Retail, Gartner and The Distribution Channel.
