Deloitte Digital’s Connected Store is heading to Hong Kong to launch its APAC presence at Retail Asia Conference & Expo, May 7-10. The Connected Store—powered by Deloitte’s ecosystem of partners and alliances, including Salesforce, Apple and numerous start-ups—inspires retailers and consumer product brands to reimagine their omnichannel shopping experience.

Disruptive forces in the retail and consumer products market are challenging the status quo. It’s time for companies to step up and respond to growth, margin, and brand pressures by integrating and deploying cutting-edge solutions. They’ll need the creative and prospective that comes from the latest technology to delight consumers with every interaction.
