About the Conference
The Gravisite Conference is a forum promoting the sharing of knowledge and ideas among Site Location Research and Real Estate professionals. Every attendee will be impacted by the dynamic topics presented and will learn from peers and educated presenters. This allows each of us to leverage our unique insights, knowledge and expertise. We're confident that this venue and atmosphere will be a guide to future success and resilience through the coming years. We will be focusing on Hybrid Life: Next Generation Grocery.
Attendees recognize the numerous opportunities and challenges facing the Supermarket and Retail Industry. While the retail industry remains an ever changing landscape, rarely has the confluence of so much transformation and change occurred at the same time. As such, the role and impact of analytic-driven insights are more critical than ever!
MTN Retail Advisors, LLC is privileged to manage the conference and we recognize our responsibility to bring a value-add experience to you and your organizations.
Justify Your Attendance
Do you need to justify your attendance for this year's event? Here are some details as to what you will gain and how it will positively impact your life, as well as the company you work for.
Resilience: The ability to withstand adversity and bounce back from difficult life events. We will learn how to develop a 'Can-do' attitude, make and move towards goals, connect with those who lift and inspire, welcome and embrace change, and take action. It takes resilient individuals to keep a company moving forward through hard times.
As related to the retail experience, the following are thought-provoking questions that will be addressed at the 2022 Gravisite Conference:
1. What changes is your company making to propel their business during these uncertain times?
2. What experience(s) are your customers/clients looking for that you can incorporate into your business?
3. What does your store offer that competitors do not and how are you sharing your offering with current
and future customers?
4. What are competitive businesses doing to embrace the changes that are rapidly taking place within the market?
5. How is your personal resilience affecting your business and/or work experience?
