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.

Why is southern California becoming the hub of green transportation?

On the latest episode of Careers on the Move, a Cargomatic podcast, host Shelby Skrhak spoke to a front-line expert about getting goods from A to B as greenly and efficiently as possible.

There’s no denying that the environmental movement has grown exponentially in the last decade. But, unlike other movements, sustainability isn’t something we can easily measure or notice a palpable change with.

On the first episode of Breaking New Ground, host Joel Pennington brings together two leaders driving radical change in the built environment today, Arol Wolford and Charlie Cichetti

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

This week on Retail Refined, VP of Retail, Restaurants and Hospitality for AT&T Michael Colaneri speaks about how 5G will enable retailers to deploy experiential content, such as “magic mirrors” that empower consumers to try on clothes without being physically present.

Will 5G change the ability for paramedics to communicate with doctors in the hospital?

This week on In The Cloud, Host Hilary Kennedy talked with Dr. Arslan Usman, a telemedicine and wireless connectivity expert to find out.

On this week’s MarketScale Roundtable, we’re exploring how QSR is personalizing various aspects of its operations, technologies and experience for the end-user.

The panel will include:

Brandon Powers, KPS

Kevin Bessy, Humdinner

Bill Stavrou, Foodhaul

Margine Biswas, Archiphy

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.
