Tomorrow`s critical success factors - customer loyalty and supply chain management - will be the theme of Unisys`s First European Retail Expert Forum to be held at Unisys International Management Centre, St Paul de Vence, in France, 10 to 11 June.
The event will be chaired by former Wal-Mart CEO Bill Fields, and includes guest speakers such as Gartner research director Maria Jiminez; EAN International senior project manager: GCI, Sabine Ritter; Loyalty Partners founder and CEO Alexander Rittweger; and Transaction Resources director John Gove. Delegates from South African retail organisations such as Ackermans, BP Express, Mica, Mr Price and Spar are attending.
"This is the first time the retail forum is being held outside of the US," says Unisys Africa commercial sales director Nick Emms. "We decided to host it at our European venue to ease access for our EMEA clients, so they can gain insight into tomorrow`s trends and influences."
