With the recent strong economic growth, and the emergence of the middle class, retailers are looking to expand their presence while integrating multiple channels to improve the shopping experience and better connect with the consumer. The NG Retail Latin America Summit will bring together senior retail executives from the IT, Marketing, and E-Commerce fields to discuss and overcome the challenges they are currently facing in a relaxed and vibrant environment."
