The Weekly Scale: May 10th, 2021

This week at MarketScale, we’ll launch some of our newest contributor podcasts, explore the conversations powering industrialized construction, and analyze the QSR industry’s growing need for personalized experiences.

It’s the start of a new week, and it’s time to scale up.

What is the role of 5G in the future of retail?

The panel will include:

Brandon Powers, KPS

Kevin Bessy, Humdinner

Make sure to follow along for future roundtables. We will also be checking out what we can expect for a summer full of travel on the hospitality roundtable on the 17th.

I’ll be back next Monday for The Weekly Scale but, until then, if you know of a story that you want us to cover, let us know with the hashtag B2BNeverSleeps.
