RIS News' ENGAGE Retail Industry Conference is Hosting a Startup Pitch Competition in Florida


RIS News, the source for retail business intelligence, will host a live competition for technology startups at its fall conference ENGAGE, the retail industry’s conference focused on the customer experience.
The startup competition will be judged by a panel of retail experts consisting of a retail CEO, a Wall Street analyst and a venture capitalist. The competition will take place at ENGAGE!,  September 7-9 at The Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in front of senior-level retail industry executives.

All retail technology startups at the competition will make 10-minute pitches before the panel of experts as well as retail executives in the audience, who will also vote using digital polling technology.
