For 20 years, the Center for Retailing Studies at Texas A&M University has brought together a dynamic mix of speakers, topics, and retailers to generate this annual event. Business leaders from across the country gather to hear the star-studded list of speakers, which has included CEOs, Chairpersons, and Presidents of top retailing companies, retail consultants, and inspirational figures from all walks of life.

For 1 1/2 days in Dallas, these industry leaders share their retailing experience, lessons, and insight with a packed house of several hundred decision makers and thought leaders. The audience takes away wisdom on topics such as vision and leadership, creating customer excitement, brand building, maverick retailing, hypercompetition, and innovation.  Retailing Summit is designed for executives, industry leaders, decision makers, managers on an upward career path, and professors with an interest in retailing.
