2. Rethink! Internet of Retail Minds 2016: Beyond the hype
Rethink! Internet of Retail Minds 2016 proved how many retailers are already implementing IoT applications to increase customer user experience.
Over 100 experts gathered on September 26-27 in London to define the future and real world applications of IoT in the retail space. With speakers
like Joe Comiskey (Lead eCommerce Innovation and Strategy Manager) from Unilever taking us on a journey of how everything will be made
shoppable and Michele Fuhs (Head of Premium Retail Experience) from BMW showing us how the retail stores of tomorrow will soon look like, it
was an event that brought together a 360 degree view on the impact of IoT on retail.
International case studies summarized how IoT is being implemented within retail companies. How it changes whole business models, what the
impact is on legacy systems and IT infrastructure, how big data is moving into the centre of company strategies, but also the role of omnichannel and
customer touch points were in the centre in all discussions and presentations during the two days in London. One thing was clear: IoT is changing
the way of how we will consume, conduct business and fulfil the next-generation customers´ needs. Retailers are forced to change their mind-set
otherwise they will lose their customers’ loyalty.
