“The final presentation left the movers and shakers of the retail industry with something very interesting to mull over for the weeks and months to come.

Her slides were something to behold, they made you want to visit every store or try every app she mentioned. She refers to herself as ‘the 26th most influential person in retail’ but you’d to be hard put to imagine that there are 25 more engaging and delightful thinkers or presenters out there. ” - Mike Butler, Director, McDonald Butler Associates
