21st April 2005

The event is free of charge to retailers

 
Learn about the latest retail technology trends and experiences from major retailers.

From the first Retail Systems Forum in 2001, visitors have been able to hear direct from major retailers, such as SPAR, Little Chef, Shell and Elf, about their experiences of selecting, rolling-out and going live with a new EPoS or back office solution. The Forum has also been the ideal opportunity to find out about the latest innovations in retail technology from hardware manufacturers, technical experts and IT solution providers, and discover how it could hold the key to achieving any number of business goals. Greater efficiency at the point of sale, for example, or perhaps improved communications between shop floor and head office.

The next Retail Systems Forum will be held on Thursday 21st April 2005 at BAFTA in London's Piccadilly and promises to be as popular as ever covering topical issues such as RFID and Chip & PIN, and with presentations including Co-op, Barclaycard and RoadChef. The event is a must for MDs, FDs, IT and Operations Managers and entry is free of charge to retailers. Places are limited so to avoid disappointment please register at www.retailsystemsforum.com
