Call for Speakers & Panelists

CIO Retail Summit - Aug 26 - Aug 29, 2012 Montelucia Resort, Scottsdale, AZ

The CIO Retail Summit Team invites CIOs and C-level IT executives to qualify as VIP delegates or speakers at this premiere event. Join peers and like-minded IT executives as they discuss current challenges, best practices, breakthroughs, and trends facing the Insurance sector in interactive CIO executive visionss, one-on-one exchanges, and networking sessions. Held at the InterContinental Montelucia Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona, don't miss this exclusive gathering of the retail industry's Fortune 1000 leaders.

Topics of Discussion are Set to Include:

  • Influencing Consumer Choices with Social Media - Blogs, wikis, podcasts, social networks and user communities are here to stay. This session will explore how CIOs can use social media to build value and brand loyalty among existing customers, and create attraction and brand awareness among new ones.
  • Talent Management and Retention - Talent management is an increasingly crucial skill for IT executives, and generally a great deal more complex a problem than can be solved with traditional business methods. The CIO that take a strategic, reasoned and long term approach to the issue will attract the right people for their critical positions.
  • Re-Mapping the Supply Chain Model - A modernization of the supply chain model is crucial. CIOs involved in the development of the new supply chain will need to develop an information architecture that enables collaboration - a service-oriented architecture (SOA) with the ability to share data.
  • Adapting to Mobile Retail - With more consumers purchasing Web enabled devices and presumably using them to make purchases, it will be more important than ever for organizations to adapt their online presence to these different devices.
  • Developing Custom Business Applications in the Cloud - Cloud application services, such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), eliminates the need to install and run the application on the customer's own computers. This executive panel will discuss what is required to develop custom business applications in the cloud: the specialized skills; the new processes (agile application development and quality control); and the new architectures (non-relational data, multi-tenant kernels).
  • Evaluating the ROI of Digital Signage Deployments - Two-way communication with the customer creates entirely new marketing and promotional opportunities. This session will discuss the ROI of digital signage deployments and the role of interactive media in the retail industry.
