The themed presentations, "Emerging Retail Technologies," will take place on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. and will be moderated by Rob Schmults, formerly VP, Business Management, GSI Commerce.

"Social Shopping and the power of word-of-mouth, is, of course, not new; it refers back to things like Tupperware parties and hanging out at the mall. However, what is new is how technology can now fuel the social aspect of shopping and how this can support and drive ecommerce, "said Denise Zimmerman. "The social and word-of-mouth aspects of shopping are now more scaleable than ever to drive ecommerce, actionable customer insights, sales and other value to the ecommerce enterprise. And tell me, where did you get those fabulous shoes?"
