Retail Tech Summit: Design Innovation & The Retail Experience
[SF Design Week 2014] June 16, 2014
RSVP HERE
Retail Design is a creative and commercial discipline that combines several different areas of expertise together in the design and construction of retail space. Retail design is primarily a specialized practice of architecture and interior design, it also incorporates elements of interior decoration, industrial design, graphic design, ergonomics, and advertising. Retail design is a very specialized discipline due to the heavy demands placed on retail space. Because the primary purpose of retail space is to stock and sell product to consumers, the spaces must be designed in a way that promotes an enjoyable and hassle-free shopping experience for the consumer. RSVP TO ATTEND!
RETAIL TECH SUMMIT and Retail Tech Innovation Ecosystem Development for San Francisco
The entire retail industry, given its historical and economic importance for America and its GDP, has an enormous legacy infrastructure which means that, contrary to other technology sectors, most retail tech startups will necessarily have to work in some capacity with established industry players just to get started. We feel that this mandatory engagement between retail tech startups and the established retail industry provides a unique opportunity to develop a third innovation paradigm through establishing an ongoing, structured and systematic interaction program of large-organization intra-preneurial with independent entrepreneurial development activities – and possible new investment paradigms by the retail industry to fund promising retail tech startups beyond the standard build or buy decision scenario. San Francisco has the most developed startup industry, leading in all the critical resource areas, and we believe San Francisco is the ideal place for this new innovation paradigm development work to take place – we are looking at the groundwork to turn the entire City of San Francisco into a retail incubator as a public/private partnership with the City and industry.
#RETAILTECHSummit Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship for the Future of Retail - happening now in San Francisco. The Next Big Thing. Once the conversation turns to the entirety of retail experience, the optimization of omni-channel and contextual marketing, and the technological promise of "anything-anywhere," you have to go BIG. We're turning the entire City of San Francisco into a Retail Incubator.
