Cate Zovod, Near
When it comes to opening a new QSR location, the decision around site selection is critical — and the wrong decision can be extremely costly. For a QSR looking to significantly expand to new locations, the stakes are even higher. Founded in 1959, Little Caesars has been a popular pizza chain in the U.S. for decades. Having successfully responded to new consumer behavior in recent years, the chain is poised for rapid expansion across the U.S. and other growing markets like Canada and Mexico. With a goal to maximize ROI on the new locations, the company had to identify and prioritize sites for their new stores in a smart and scalable way. Learn how they turned to human movement data to empower teams in the U.S. and internationally to create a strategic expansion plan.

Resale is ecologically beneficial, applies to many types of merchandise and is on-trend, but we are finding that the resale of goods online isn't as profitable as in store--think photo shoot, double ship and repackaging of items. So if done right at store level, can resale be more profitable, increase foot traffic with unique offerings, and boost customer loyalty? Learn from IKEA about their in-store resale experience, hear exclusive research from WD Partners and see visual renderings that show how areas of resale can be executed in several types of merchandise categories.

You may know it as smart speaker, or the voice that tells jokes to your kids. You may think it’s a marketing channel, or only available through Big Tech.
Think again. A number of leading retailers know conversational artificial intelligence – voice assistance -- as a technology that is creating operational efficiencies (from warehouse to store), aiding employee retention, and lifting brand affinity. A technology that’s not only on the roadmap, but in implementation. (And in ways you may not expect.)
Join industry leader Vicki Cantrell and top executives from retail and entertainment as she pulls back the covers on the value of voice and retail, and explores the questions you’d ask: what’s real, what’s not, and what’s next? Where and how is this better than what we’re doing now? How do we protect the privacy of our customers – and our own data? How do we get started, and with whom?
