Positives Ania was extraordinary, going the extra mile to make things happen before and during the event. Both Rachel and Celeste, were always helpful. Negatives First & last days lost. Lack of planning on the conference floor, made the first day almost completely lost as no traffic went through the tabletop area. The tabletops need to be open until the last day of the conference, to maximize exposure and improve ROI. Assistants Database MUST include ALL contact information prior and after the event (e-mail & telephone).

There was a lot of good content and the event was well organized. I felt that the subject matter of many of the sessions was AI. Machine learning and other things technology related. Retail remains a physical environment and there are challenges related to that part of the future that deserve more content. I would recommend the event and believe the team will continue to build and enhance the conference.

Hi guys, Thanks for everything this week at Future Stores East. We had a great conference in terms of the people we met, however, our sales/biz dev team was underwhelmed re: the ROI for vendors. We felt the setup was such that it was really difficult for tabletop vendors to attract anyone to our booths. All the retail folks know each other and did not have any incentive to stroll outside to chat with salespeople re: their products during the innovation breaks. We just felt there was a bit lacking in terms of getting access to retail reps and getting real value from the money we paid to attend. We though the talks, however, were really informative and the program was helpful in terms of our own market research. We also really appreciated the quality of attendees. Lastly, your staff were extremely friendly and approachable and that was very much appreciated!

Would love access to all presentations, it's hard to keep taking pics of the presentation info from the screen Need to have chargers available to participants Can you have ability to submit questions digitally ahead of time? Can participants watch webcasts of the event post the event?

Enjoyed the key note speakers and many of the other sessions. However, 7AM start and 5:30 PM finish with lunch at 1 or 1:30 and little breaks made it hard to digest content. Also, some of the content was repetitive and there were a lot of "sponsored" content which made the feel too biased.
