We have 4 theatres, with over 80 sessions, so there are plenty of opportunities to hear the very best retail content there is to offer. We've undertaken extensive research to find out exactly what our visitors want to hear and the message is loud and clear – innovation is key."

The conference programme at the 2011 event attracted over 2,000 attendees, with top level speakers  from  Aurora, eBay, Giant Eagle, Morrisons, Sonae, Starbucks, and Waitrose, and many more, covering a broad range of topics including supply chain, multichannel, eCommerce, marketing to loss prevention, and tackling topical industry issues from the pros & cons of Cloud Computing to missed opportunities in retailing.

“We’re looking for original content, new ideas and topics which will appeal to a range of job functions.  There is a huge appetite for information across the whole area of multichannel, which is completely encompassed in our show, and will be covered extensively.  Likewise, international retail came up as another area where there’s a real hunger for information, and we are committed to at least 20% of our seminars featuring Europe and beyond.” Field continued.

The call for papers deadline is September 30^th 2011.  More details and hints and tips on how to submit a proposal can be found at http://www.retailbusinesstechnologyexpo.com/Content/SEMINAR-SUBMISSION/21/

NCR : Today’s consumers are time starved, digitally enabled and more in control than ever

NCR to highlight channel convergence at the Retail Business Technology Expo

NCR Corporation will announce a range of new converged retailing – or NCR c-tailingTM – solutions on stand 600 at the Retail Business Technology Expo on March 16-17 in London. This includes an innovative new software solution for implementing price-based promotions faster and more consistently across multiple channels, as well as new personalisation and preference management offerings.


Consumers increasingly want to be able to use any combination of online, social networking, mobile and store channels simultaneously when they shop in their search for better value products.

NCR has coined the term ‘c-tailing’ – or converged retailing – to define this new world. NCR c-tailing solutions help enable shoppers to review consistent and relevant information on product and price promotions, complete purchases, receive deliveries and process returns at the locations that are most convenient to them.

“In order to deliver the personalised and consistent shopping experience that today’s consumers demand, retailers must tear down the barriers that currently exist between their digital and physical channels,” said John Curnow, director of NCR’s retail and hospitality line of business in Northern Europe. “NCR c-tailing solutions will help retailers engage in interactive dialogue with shoppers across retail channels, based on their preferences and presence in a channel.”
