InternetRetailing Expo (IRX) / 25 March 2015 - A drone will be carrying an Apple Watch, IRX Express - let the train take the strain, IRUK Top500, IREU 'footprint'



Ian Jindal writes .. InternetRetailing Expo (IRX) is a fortnight away.  I wanted to highlight three reasons to be with us on the first day, 25 March.

Remember, registering is free (visit www.internetretailingexpo.com/registration) and during the process you'll be able to select meetings, workshops, grab your free train tickets and register your colleagues.

Three activities on 25 March are:

- Drone Delivery Demonstration, including the chance to win the first drone-delivered Apple Watch...
- IRX Express - the free networking, breakfast-serving, day-planning, convenient executive train for Top500 delegates
- the reveal of the European Top500 footprint - IREU - at 4.15pm in Theatre 1.

DRONE-DELIVERED APPLE WATCH

Drones - so hyped, so nearly 'now', so many considerations... We'll all have pondered them in theory, but few of us (whether pro or anti) have had a chance to play with one. Fear not - don the mirrored Aviator sunnies and meet our qualified pilot who'll put a drone through its paces in this CAA-sanctioned demonstration.

Best of all the drone will be carrying an Apple Watch, and one lucky visitor will be its new owner (thanks to the kindness of our sponsor, Scurri).

How to win? Just register at www.internetretailingexpo.com/registration and keep your fingers crossed
How to watch? You'll get details of the flight times by email, but they'll be on the morning of 25 March

IRX EXPRESS - let the train take the strain.

We have hired a train carriage on Virgin Trains to transport delegates from the Top 500 retailers in the UK, allowing them to network with other retailers during the 70 minute journey. We will also be transporting people back to London after the cocktail party on the first day and again just before show close on the second day.

Guests will not be required to pay for travel on the IRX Express but tickets restricted to employees of the Top 500 Retailers – subject to availability.

Plan your day, debrief and share afterwards. Simple

THE IREU LAUNCH

Following the enthusiastic reception of the IRUK Top500 (www.internetretailing.net/iruk) we will unveil at the show the workings for the IREU 'footprint' - selecting the 800 or so 'heftiest' multichannel retailers in Europe, from whom the Top500 will be selected and ranked.

At this intimate and conversational session - 4.15pm in Theatre 1 - we'll explain our approach and then lead a discussion on how to assess the capability and performance of retailers across the 34 countries we've included.

http://internetretailing.net/2015/03/europes-top500-multichannel-retailers-exclusive-preview-at-irx-25-march/ for more information. Free to attend.

I look forward to seeing you and your colleagues at IRX. As ever if you've any questions, suggestions or requests to make this a better use of your time please just let me know. Our whole team will be at IRX and the sole shared objective is to make it a valuable use of your time.

'In Her Shoes' Exclusive : "Half of women who work in the marketing industry have reportedly experienced sexism at some point" / Filmed interview with Nicole Yershon, Ogilvy / Contented Brands

Contented Brands

Apparently, almost half of women who work in the marketing industry have reportedly experienced sexism at some point. This is according to a recent survey by The Drum.

In this series of 3-4 minute, filmed interviews with high profile women within the marketing industry, we will ask our interviewees, if they have experienced it and if so how they coped.

These films feature women who are business owners, who head up brands and who also work for large agencies.This time our film features Nicole Yershon, Director Innovative Solutions Ogilvy  and Will Harvey Lead & Trend Spotter for VCCP

In each interview the women are also asked a series of other questions e.g.: what are they most proud of, who inspires them, their favourite Ted Talk, whats the next big thing in their industry etc.,


Towards the end of interview the woman will be asked to nominate a man who could do her job – ie ‘Wear Her Shoes’. Then we see the nominee actually walking in their shoes.

Our first film 'In Her Shoes' by Contented Brands featured Camilla Honey of JFDI 

The next interview will feature Alex Mecklenburg, Client Partner, We Are Friday

If this series of videos captures your imagination talk with us about potential sponsorship.   Call Alex Gulland on 07765 404 404 or Will Corry 01784 434 412
