established retailers, and is ready for mass distribution.

middle ground solutions that are seamlessly bringing together the physical
and digital retail worlds," says Heather Perry, associate show director,

Innovation Valley. The podcast will feature a series of onthe-show-floor interviews with various players that make
up the retail community. Over the course of three days, the
podcast will share the inspiring and insightful stories that
