The second annual CART Event returns as the most talked about 3-hour event of the NGA Show 2020. Innovators, educators, and retailers will collaborate to explore the future of the independent industry together, interact with the latest and most innovative solutions out there and learn about and gain access into creating innovation cultures inside of businesses to be ready and willing to adopt. Changes in the retail industry are happening faster than ever before, transforming the retail store, and how retailers go to market and interact with their shoppers. Retailers can embrace this change, avail themselves of capabilities never before possible, or be disrupted into irrelevancy. And disruption is exactly what’s happening as the industry undergoes gut-wrenching change as decades of product-first practices give way to a true customer-first retail experience.

Join us on Sunday afternoon leading up to the opening of the NGA Show.

Sunday, February 23, 2020 | 1pm - 4pm | Room 28 ABCDE
