For nearly 20 years, RetailVision has brought consumer technology vendors together with leading retailers and distributors to drive business in the consumer channel. The event is uniquely designed to help create a competitive- edge with technology vendors, retailers and distributors.

"Industry experts point to the Middle East as one of the most rapidly growing emerging markets for consumer technology," said Nancy Hammervik, Vice President, Everything Channel Events.
