FAQs

What’s a hosted summit?
Simply put, hosted summits are a unique way to engage buyers and sellers outside of the traditional trade show. Total Retail Tech places great emphasis on providing an environment conducive to relationship building and business development. Qualified attendees benefit from top-notch programming as well as peer-to-peer networking and the ability to see, test and compare some of the most innovative marketing technologies impacting the retail industry today. These interactions take place in pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings. Networking functions, including meals and entertainment, provide plenty of additional opportunities to get to know your industry colleagues. The key benefit for both attendees and sponsors is that Total Retail Tech will bring in the right people for the right conversations.
