How to accelerate from the starting grid to winning the Digital Communication race

The latest trends that are truly delivering positive outcomes that have transitioned Digital In-Store Communication from a “Special Projects” budget to an absolute requirement in the store planning phase.

Retail Forum for

Digital Communication

“Narrowcasting” or “digital signage” has made rapid advances in the last several years and now encompasses new technologies, devices and operating systems such as advanced analytics, mobile devices, Android, iOS, HtML5 programming and data visualization. Combining this with the emerging omni-channel concept and you can state that it has truly evolved into “Digital Communication”.

These new concepts within Digital Communication allow interaction and dynamic generation of content that will have the most impact at a particular place or point in time. An effective digital communication solution commands the attention of those whose minds are pulled in multiple directions— ranging from fashion, “do it yourself”, FMCG and supermarket shoppers to bank clients and restaurant guests.

E-commerce and brick-and-mortar will continue to meld together. Mobile devices, in-store screens and even “intelligent furniture” are communication elements that brands and retailers can use to interact with their target audiences. It all has to do with that one main objective to create that unique customer experience… that WOW effect.

The Retail Forum is created also to share each other’s visions, opinions and learnings in networking sessions about the latest interactive POP strategies. Think of: geolocation marketing, virtual couponing and “click and collect” tactics. And how important is it to “lead” your customer through your omni-channel interaction path stimulating them to share their shopping experience via social networks?

Join us for the Retail Forum at the International Scala Conference and discover how your company can benefit from the latest in-store digital communication solutions and exchange best practices and experiences with thought leaders in the industry during inspiring presentations and the networking lunch.

PS: We have chosen a completely refurbished monumental (former) church in the heart of Amsterdam, called the “Zuiderkerk” for this conference. The venue is located near a popular square called the “Nieuwmarkt”. And there is a subway/metro station right in front of the church, which is only 1 stop from Amsterdam Central Train Station, which has a direct connection to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
