A. HUMAN BEING AND (UN)BALANCE

Moderator: Marta Nováková, President, Czech Confederation of Commerce and Tourism

Topics:

People have always been, are and will be the basis for retail business – in front of the counter or behind it, or whether the "counter" looks in any way. The man is also at the same time the main source of (un) balance. Retail Summit is therefore logically opened by speeches on character of human being, what he/she wants and desires and where our entire society is heading. We will focus on trends in demand, searching for a balance between the need to get customized offer and at the same time protect personal data, and we will show how technology can enable better understanding of customers.
