Dennis Carey Corporate Strategies

This year’s World Retail Congress, with sponsors such as Korn\Ferry International with senior client partner Dennis Carey, took place on October 25^th in Berlin, which is one of Europe’s most vibrant and significant capital cities. This meeting provides the important context, fresh ideas and challenging thinking to prepare senior retailers for the “new retailing” that will follow the global recession.  The retailers also had programs focused on leadership and thought processes to provide the retailers with additional insight.

This year’s program included the new “executive roundtables”. These are smaller workshop formats which enabled retailers to have a hands-on experience with the new online, digital and social networking channels which are expected to be adopted by consumers in the near future. Delegates were also able to participate in the Retail Study Tours, as well as receptions and gala dinner networking events that took place throughout the city.
