The Oxford Institute of Retail Management, University of Oxford, invites you to attend its forthcoming event:

Oxford Retail Futures Conference: New Technologies, Business Models and Customer Experience


Date:          10th- 11th December 2012

Location:   University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom

Overview
On-line sales are increasing. Internet-based sales and communication channels are replacing more traditional retail and services. Many store-based businesses are struggling to compete with the growing on-line environment; their potential failure has wide implications, both for the retail diversity of town and city centres, and for patterns of local employment. Meanwhile, continued innovation in on-line retail is creating new challenges in supply chain management and for the business community as a whole.

Topics and registration
During the conference, interactions between retail, technology and various selling channels will be discussed, with a focus on solutions that are crossing existing boundaries between the on-line and in-store experience.
