All of a sudden, the industry has had to compress 10 years of change into six months. As for me? I’ll now be delivering my keynote on the broad theme of ‘what happens to retail AFTER Covid-19?’ It should be fun!

With that in mind, I hit the studio yesterday and filmed a brief clip to get some folks interested and thinking. (I’m in the photo – you’ll see me at the top of the ‘virtual stairs.’)

There’s a longer version too – filmed earlier, I actually had the wrong day, so I had to do the redo above!
