It’s our last Code Meet Print TO of the year where, like last year, we’ll turn our attention to those who work up an especially good sweat in December: retailers! We also have a brand new venue for this round, the lovely Hotel Ocho.
We’ll be hearing from entrepreneurs who are addressing consumer challenges of access to information, experimenting with community-driven growth models, and creating engaging in-store experiences.
Our speakers are:
Ben Zifkin - Founder and CEO of Hubba, a brand-management platform that makes it easy for retailers and brands to manage and share their consumer-ready product information.
Joe Lasko - Program coordinator at Story Planet, a non-profit writing centre that offers free workshops to support children and youth (ages 6-18) in becoming creative and effective communicators. Story Planet is inspired and mentored by 826, a national writing centre for children founded by author Dave Eggers and educator Ninive Calegari.
Wendy MacKinnon Keith - Founder and CEO of Digital Retail Apps, which recently launched a prototype of SelfPay, an app that lets retail customers pay from anywhere in-store using their smartphones.
Here are some details to get you to the right place at the right time. We hope you’ll join us!
When: Monday, December 2, 2013; 6 PM
