Thursday, June 4th | 420 N 5th St, 5th Floor | Minneapolis, MN
Happy Hour: 4:30PM – 5:30PM | The Panel: 5:30 – 6:30

Last fall, we introduced you to The Panel – a group of local industry leaders talking about things you want to hear about. We had such a blast that we’re bringing it back. This time, we’re talking all things retail – marketing, engagement, technology, etc.

We’ll hear from both agency and retail gurus – each bringing their own unique perspective on what’s working now and what may work in the future of retail.

Since the last panel, we moved over to our new space in the Ford Center. We’re looking forward to this helping us break in the new space, offering a much more intimate environment for The Panel attendees.

We’re also big fans of Happy Hour. So, we’re hosting one prior to the The Panel’s start.

You won’t want to miss this. Now, let’s meet the panelists:

John Moberg, CIO & Co-Founder of Modern Climate | Visionary, marketing technology executive who believes modern technology has a human element that is approachable, intuitive, and creates a feeling of reward for those who encounter it within an idea-driven brand experience.

Lynne Robertson, President & CEO of Fame | As CEO and owner of experiential retail agency Fame, Robertson has enjoyed a 20-year marketing career choreographing brand experiences that consumers love to love. She has delighted some of the world’s most recognized brands by delivering fully committed devotees.

Angela Gearhart, Senior Director In Store Experience of Select Comfort | For the past 12 years, Angela has led the vision and strategy to elevate the Sleep Number brand through a consumer-centric interactive shopping experience that is considered “best in class” retail leadership, resulting in twice the productivity of the industry average and 80% comp increase over the last 4 years.
