Ron Cates, Presenter 2013 & 2014 Digital Marketing Expert Constant ContactI feel incredibly lucky, because I get invited to speak at some of the country’s most prominent events on a regular basis. From a presenter’s point of view, the Independent Retailer Conference is as good as it gets and is now one of my favorites.

Larry Campbell Gift Shop Manager and Buyer IRC at ASD Attendee March 2014 USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park Honolulu, HawaiiI traveled from Hawaii to the ASD Show specifically because of the Independent Retailer Conference, and am thrilled I can both buy at ASD as well as gain great education for my store.”
The addition of strong retailer education like the Independent Retailer Conference at this year’s Sports Licensing and Tailgate Show, gave us a valuable platform to deliver robust content and education to our retail attendees. We are continually looking for a way to provide additional value for the show’s attending retail buyers, and these quick 15 minute education-rich, action-packed events offered retailers the chance to engage, learn and connect with retail experts, industry leaders, service providers and like-minded entrepreneurs. The interactive experience left participants inspired and gave them solid takeaway tools that they could take back to their stores and immediately put into practice.”
