Retail Symposium 2023 Schedule
The Annual TU Dublin Retail Symposium takes place this year on the 20th & 21st March at the Faculty of Business, City Campus Aungier Street and will also be available online for a remote audience. This year’s symposium will focus on ‘Smart retailing’ and the development of Smart Retailing Strategies through innovative technology adoption. The emerging idea of Smart Retailing reflects a particular idea of retailing, where firms and consumers through a process of co-creation in the utilisation of new technologies reinvent and reinforce their role in the new service economy, by improving the quality of their shopping experiences.
Technology is increasingly integrated into the 2020’s retail experience at point of sale, on mobile devices or even interactive storefront windows. The question of what constitutes a Smart Retailing Strategy and how such a strategy can be successfully implemented remains a contemporary challenge for retailers. This symposium aims to provide insights into the most relevant technologies that are reshaping retail strategies through both physical settings as well as digital channels. New interpretations on e-commerce opportunities to offer ‘smart’ retail solutions will be explored.
The symposium will be host to an eclectic mix of views from senior retail executives, customer insight & technology adoption experts and international retail academics on issues pertaining to technologically driven retail strategies.
The audience will consist of TU Dublin undergraduate and postgraduate students, academic staff, and many of TU Dublin’s corporate retail partners.
