  • Carolyn Brown, Head of eCommerce, North America, Anheuser-Busch
  • Cara Pratt, VP of Kroger Precision Marketing Commercial & Product Strategy

 

2. Emerging Technology Spotlight

 

“The Startup Pitch Competition (This year it’s called Emerging Technology Spotlight) was a great place for Shopperations to see how new tech companies are positioning themselves. In fact, we are one of the 20 startups that will be on stage this time.”

  • GroceryShop welcomes and encourages startups to attend the show.
  • The show additionally provides startups with special reimbursement and stipend opportunities. They are also given the opportunity to exhibit in the hall.

 

3. Networking

 

“I witnessed the buzz of the Hosted Meetings where marketers and vendors met for a quick introduction and rotated every 20 minutes from table to table. The energy and sheer scale were super impressive.”
