You ’ll be able to join double opt-in meetings across the entire retail ecosystem, ensuring the person sitting across from you is someone you want to meet, and someone who wants to meet you. So whether you’re looking for a game-changing tech solution, wanting to connect with a fellow retailer or brand, hoping to hire or seeking investment, we’ll ensure you are connected to the right people at the right time.
