It presented us with just what we were looking for -- a sneak peak at the newest and most innovative products entering the retail channel," said Kevin Jones, Vice President, Merchandising, Micro Center. RetailVision provides an unparalleled opportunity for consumer technology retailers to identify new vendors, products and programs and to interact with those vendors in an efficient and effective environment. To participate, technology products must be demonstrable and not currently available in a wide spectrum of retail outlets. At the event, each participant will be given the chance to highlight product or service key benefits and features to the RetailVision audience. There are also opportunities for participating companies to engage in one-on-one discussions with key retail merchandisers, buyers and executives during the event. RetailVision is the event where new consumer technology products and channel programs are unveiled, retailer-vendor relationships are forged and critical retail merchandising decisions are made. RetailVision attendees include consumer electronics stores, computer and office supply superstores, direct marketing companies, clubs, buying groups, mass merchants, click-and-mortar, catalog resellers and online retailers.
