A mobile showcase of Big Data solutions from SAP, the bus is staffed by experts and packed with demos, enabling attendees to see what SAP is doing to help customers bring the innovations of Big Data into their organizations.
Lori Mitchell-Keller, head of Global Retail Business at SAP, will kick-start NRF on Tuesday morning with a keynote panel session. Bert Jacobs, co-founder and chief executive optimist of Life is good, Inc., and BJ Bueno, founder of The Cult Branding Company, will join her to discuss the importance of a passionate and upbeat corporate culture, as well as how retail brands can instill positive energy as part of the brand experience. This optimistic viewpoint can inspire retail associates to live the brand’s core values and drive a retail experience that ensures consumers truly feel a brand’s value and vision. The panel will take place Tuesday, January 14, at 8:30 a.m. EST, in the North Hall at the Javits Convention Center.
