Themes and Speakers Revealed For Manhattan London Conference

Manhattan Associates has released further details of themes and speakers at its EMEA Exchange 2017 conference, to be staged on October 3-4 at 8 Northumberland Avenue in London, UK.

The conference will provide commerce innovators, business leaders and industry practitioners from retail, logistics services, wholesale and manufacturing an opportunity to share their insights and experiences from the fast-evolving world of multi-channel commerce. Manhattan EMEA Exchange helps organisations maximise the effectiveness of their omni-channel, supply chain and inventory operations to profitably operate in today’s dynamic business environment, efficiently managing orders across multiple channels and fulfilling ever more demanding customer needs.

Henri Seroux, Senior Vice President EMEA at Manhattan Associates, commented, “Technology has created more informed, connected consumers, no longer loyal to a brand but to an experience across channels. Delegates attending Manhattan EMEA Exchange 2017 will hear first-hand how the recently launched Manhattan Active Solutions are helping businesses keep up with their tech-savvy customers to deliver the integrated cross-channel service experience they crave.”

With track sessions focusing on Customer Centricity, Grocery and Wholesale, the event tackles a range of issues including: synchronising people, processes and technology across channels to improve the customer experience; competing to win against Amazon; and how B2B distributors are connecting, delivering and succeeding in the manner of today’s leading retailers.

The keynote and customer speakers at Manhattan EMEA Exchange 2017 include:

• Matt Stringer, Global Product Officer, Mothercare – Driven by the classic desire to improve the customer experience whilst ensuring the bottom-line is intact, Mothercare has undergone a digital transformation that has touched every area of its business.

In this session, Mr. Guillot will bring to life the business’s vision, the road travelled so far, and the next steps on the journey.
