The ways we experience the world around us has dramatically changed — and the most successful brands are responding accordingly with powerful personalized experiences.

In this keynote, Radar’s CEO and co-founder, Nick Patrick, will dive into how location technology has evolved, why it will power the next wave of digital transformation, and why the future of experience will be hybrid digital and physical.

This is a data-driven age for Retail. Many are diving into sophisticated demand forecasting to help manage what is called the bullwhip effect – a distortion of demand and increased volatility that occurs as forecasts and orders move through the supply chain. The inaccurate forecasting, stock hoarding, overstock inefficiencies and out-of-stock products lead to real problems that affect everything from lead times for manufacturing, last-mile delivery, and most importantly the customer's experience with your brand. Such analyses can help retail brands mitigate the impact of supply chain irregularities and improve the all-importance customer experience. In this session, you will learn: 1. What is Forecasting Demand and why is it important? 2. How can generating, utilizing and analyzing this data help retail brands mitigate the impact of supply chain irregularities and improve the all-importance customer experience? 3. What works, what may not work? 4. What is in store for 2023 and beyond?
