Craig LaRosa

Consumers today have unlimited access to retailers. Thanks to smartphones, they can walk into a store, experience the product or service, but then actually make the transaction online--where products might be 10% to 15% cheaper--with the added bonus of having it delivered to their doorstep. This process is called “showrooming”--and it’s causing a lot of businesses to scramble.

Monterey, CA

The IBD Summit will be held at the Portola Hotel & Conference Center at Monterey Bay. The Portola is located in the heart of Monterey within walking distance of many of the areas's world-famous attractions such as historic Fisherman's Wharf, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row.
