"WHY BRICK & MORTAR RETAILERS WILL WIN ONLINE"
By Mark Murray, Plural
Open to the public. 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Pub Talk at 6:00 p.m.
The eCommerce space is about retail, not the coolness of a site. Brand image, convenience and a retailer's
merchandising experience matter more to consumers than cheap prices and no sales tax. David Henshaw will
talk about this view and why traditional retailers will ultimately dominate the online channel.
