From online sales to in-store marketing, from advanced POS solutions to capturing the digital content transaction, Innovate 2008 promises to help you ask the tough questions and capitalize on the opportunities.

Why Innovate?
Through the use of technology and the Internet, today's customers are accustomed to getting exactly what they want, when they want it. This reality means that it is critical for college stores to quickly adjust their products and services to address their customer needs, while at the same time increasing store efficiency.

Our industry and individual college stores must explore, evaluate, and employ new technologies. Innovate 2008 is designed to help you learn to leverage technology and address changes in:

  • the fast-moving online retail environment
  • consumers and the products they buy
  • distribution channel, forcing stores to look at new approaches to their operations and retailing in general
  • content and the content delivery model
  • teaching and learning, creating both new priorities and business models with regard to the delivery of course materials
