Speakers for the night
Our presenter for the evening is FITCH Hong Kong’s Technology Director, Marc Lamothe – Scroll down for his profile.
He will explore the advent of staff-less stores like Amazon Go, how they impact the shopper journey, and what it means for the overall retail landscape. You can read more about him and what he has worked on so far at the bottom of this page.
This session initially featured FITCH Hong Kong’s Strategy Director, Stephen Pill as a presenter. Due to last work schedule, he is unable to be present at the talk. However, Marc will cover his part, having worked closely with him on projects.
There will still be both technical and creative elements which would equip you to be a well-rounded engineer or designer.
