Retailing Smarter Symposium

June 26 - 27, 2008

Each year the Miller Center offers an executive continuing education symposium specifically designed for retailers. A group of senior retail executives from leading firms are assembled to focus on topics of strategic importance to retailers. The executives candidly share information and new ideas that are working to keep their organizations ahead of their competition.

The annual Retailing Smarter symposium brings together a diverse group of retails and industry participants for two days of speakers, panels, roundtables and networking.
