At last month’s CEA Fall Forum in Phoenix, yours truly had the pleasure of moderating a panel called “The Future of Retail,” which discussed current retail conditions and the challenges and opportunities CE retailers of all sizes face next year and in upcoming years.
Joining me were three well-known executives: Jeannette Howe, executive director, Specialty Electronics Nationwide; Darold Rydl, president, Woot Wholesale; and Dave Workman, executive director/COO of the PRO Buying Group. All three provided interesting insight as to what is going on at retail now and what may happen down the road. There was also a lively Q&A session at the end of our formal discussion.
