Our extended retail team and I spent five days in Dusseldorf, Germany at EuroShop 2017<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest trade fair for everything in and around retail. With 18 halls, 127,000 m\u00b2 of exhibition space, 2,368 exhibitors, and 113,000 international visitors from 138 countries, it\u2019s hard to describe its magnitude. It\u2019s truly something you have to experience for yourself, at least once!<\/p>\n For me, EuroShop is always an inspirational experience, and this year more so than ever. Today, technology has evolved to a point where the time is right for retailers to embrace digital transformation \u2013 re-imagining their customer experiences and business processes from the ground up to stay relevant and competitive.<\/p>\n Walking the halls at this year\u2019s event \u2013 from Visual Merchandizing to Lighting to Retail Technology \u2013 you could literally feel the power of this transformation in action. As the pulse of where the industry is heading, there were a few trends that stood out for me.<\/p>\n Trending at EuroShop<\/strong><\/p>\n Microsoft at EuroShop<\/strong><\/p>\n Microsoft\u2019s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. That commitment guides both our product innovation and our unique approach to helping retailers and brands along their transformation journey. In our Microsoft booth at EuroShop we showcased how today\u2019s intelligent solutions and the cloud can ultimately change the way they engage with customers, empower employees, optimize operations, and transform their products and services to create better customer outcomes.<\/p>\n Showcases that generated the most interest were almost all based on Internet of Things technology combining Machine Learning algorithms and advanced analytics.<\/p>\n Empowering Employees:<\/strong><\/p>\n Engaging Customers:<\/strong><\/p>\n Optimizing Operations:<\/strong><\/p>\n Transforming Services:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you missed Microsoft and our partners at the show, you can learn more about our solutions here (English<\/a> or German<\/a>.)<\/p>\n I\u2019d also love to hear your thoughts from this year\u2019s event! What stood out for you? Please share your comments with me on LinkedIn. We look forward to seeing you at EuroCIS 2018 or EuroShop 2020!<\/p>\n\n
