globalshop talk 010 You'll Leave Knowing DOUG HOPE FOUNDER AND SHOW DIRECTOR, GLOBALSHOP doug.hope@emeraldexpo.com @globalshopshow A S THE DATE nears for the 24th edition of GlobalShop, our team has focused on evaluating how wellpositioned we are to serve the needs of retail and consumer goods designers, planners and merchandisers. As with any year, our goal is to ensure that we are in sync with the industry's wants and needs by virtue of not only the mix of the hundreds of exhibitors in our show, but also our conference content.

From the conversations we've had with industry suppliers, it's clear that their strategic plans have evolved to address these trends and dynamics, and that their offerings reflect a keen awareness of the retail industry's needs. Similarly, we have crafted our conference program in 2016 with an eye toward boosting expertise in these trend areas, as well as others, by featuring an entirely new speaker lineup, giving the educational facet of GlobalShop a fresh and innovative foundation. Our goal in all this is to fulfill the promise of this year's pledge to you: come wondering, and leave knowing. → Conference Manager Toni Ward (770) 291-5441 antoinette.ward@ emeraldexpo.com → Senior Operations Manager Derrick Nelloms (770) 291-5452 derrick.nelloms@emeraldexpo.com → Executive Vice President Joe Randall joe.randall@emeraldexpo.com EMERALD EXPOSITIONS: → CEO and President David Loechner → CFO and Treasurer Philip Evans → Chief Information Officer Bill Charles → Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary David Gosling → Senior Vice President, Operations Lori Jenks → Senior Vice President, Digital Teresa Reilly → Senior Vice President, Marketing Operations Joanne Wheatley → Vice President, Human Resources Eileen Deady → Vice President, Corporate Operations Denise Bashem http://www.GlobalShop.org http://www.DESIGNRETAILONLINE.COM http://www.GLOBALSHOP.ORG
