Are You Attending eTail Baltimore 2009?

The east coast eTail event is putting its money where its mouth is. At a time when online retail executives need to maximize every aspect of their businesses, eTail Baltimore will leverage its intimate setting to facilitate more brainstorming and networking than ever before.
Last year, the event welcomed 800+ retail executives to Washington DC and 59 solution providers, a deliberate reduced service provider ratio against attendees to ensure a non-tradeshow experience for networking and knowledge sharing. This year, eTail Baltimore will take things one step further with an entire stream focused on retailer-to-retailer idea sharing – other industry events simply cannot pull this off because of the logistics of managing such large crowds. Plus, only 10-15% of all speakers on the agenda will be solution providers – ensuring that every session delivers key retailer insights and take-aways.
Over the course of four days, specialty forums and workshops, designed to drive results among niches within the delegation, offer a focused environment for solution-defining discussion and an intimate setting to benchmark against peers.
