Share post:

Dx3 and Retail Prophet are pleased to announce that, for the first time ever, public applications will be considered for The Retail Collective at Dx3Canada’s leading technology, digital marketing and retail event.

Now entering its third year, The Retail Collective is a collection of technology curated by one of the world’s foremost retail industry futurists, Doug Stephens, and presented in a specially built zone on the show floor at Dx3 2016.

On March 2 – 3, 2016, seven of the most disruptive and innovative retail technologies will demonstrate to Dx3 attendees how technology is impacting the behaviour of shoppers both online and in-store, and enhancing the retail experience.

Past Retail Collective companies include ChangeRoom, RetailNext, Perch, Blippar, Pinch, Nomi and Hointer. As a result of their participation in the Retail Collective at Dx3, these companies have been featured in the Toronto Star and numerous other trade publications.

The Retail Collective will aim to demonstrate the extent to which physical stores are at a historic turning point and are no longer mere distribution points for product but rather powerful experiential media points.

Dx3 and Retail Prophet are currently seeking applications from technology companies that build retail solutions to:

  • help retailers or brands promote their products through multiple sensory touch points
  • provide cutting-edge in-store experiential/interactive technology
  • employ advanced in-store analytics

Interested companies can fill out the application here for the chance to be hand picked by Doug Stephens for this exciting exhibit.

For more information, contact Reilly Stephens at Dx3 Canada: 647-317-3890 or email: reilly@dx3canada.com
