TORONTO, Feb. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DX3 Canada, the largest conference and trade show in Canada dedicated to retail, marketing and technology, will be held at the Toronto Congress Centre on March 1-2, 2023. With over a decade of conference production experience, DX3 Events has established DX3 Canada as one of North America’s premier industry events.
DX3 Canada is a response to the rapid changes and unforeseen shocks that will likely continue to rock the retail sector. With anticipation of bringing together 15+ exhibitors, 150+ illustrious speakers and 2,000+ attendees, DX3 Canada is at the forefront of cutting-edge thought leadership at the cross-section of three exciting sectors.
Since the outbreak of the global pandemic, consumer expectations have become much more fluid. This period has seen the ushering in of new online business models, work-from-home mandates and a lightning pace of digital transformation. In this dramatically altered environment, a new relationship has been forged between marketing, technology and success in retail businesses.
This once-in-a-century shift has spurred a much greater emphasis on customized consumer experiences and the importance of addressing these fast-changing circumstances, cultivating actionable strategies for greater retention and unlocking hidden revenue streams so that depleted enterprises can continue to thrive.
The name of the game has changed from fighting to lock in the most conveniently located physical storefront to being technologically optimized across production, warehousing, distribution, payments, customer service and merchandising.
