NADI Schedules 2008 Shoptalks
|
Hollywood, Fla. (June 2, 2008)—NADI’s Shoptalk series is back for its fifth year in 2008, with more educational and networking opportunities for visual merchandising and store planning professionals.
This year’s Shoptalk discussions will offer new inspirations and fresh ideas, as top industry forecasters and influencers will share their insights on design trends and the green movement. Both topics have a major impact on the decisions retailers must make and the challenges they face every day.
Major retail executives in each of the four cities have agreed to serve as hosts for the events, lending their assistance in programming and outreach to other retail executives within their companies and community.
“In addition to retailers, industry suppliers will support the events through financial sponsorships.
