More networking time
While i feel the conference was tremendous, I feel there was not enough low key network time. When i say this, I mean breakout sessions where the retailers and vendors are working together on a project, a concept, etc. This is where everyone gets to know each other. if not, it is using uncomfortable approaches when the retailers are just trying to take a break and get a cup of coffee. It comes across more "salesman-ish" in that form so working groups would be better. I met more retailers at the tables than anyone else.
