Good Morning!

Can you believe we’re only two weeks away from the Women in Retail Leadership Summit (eek!)?! I don’t know about you ladies, but I’m over April showers and ready for Miami beaches and sunshine. Pass the SPF and mojitos, please!

With its killer agenda, fabulous networking opportunities and recently announced Pamper Party, we don’t want you to miss a moment of the Women in Retail Leadership Summit. That’s why we launched the WIRL Summit app for attendees. Powered by our friends at First Data, you can now download the WIRL Summit app in the App Store and on Google Play! Below are just a few of our fav features of the app:

  • My Agenda: SoulCycle in the morning, keynote panel in the afternoon and then off to the Palm Grove for cocktail hour? Sounds like the perfect schedule to us! On the WIRL Summit app, you can look through the event’s agenda and tailor your schedule for the perfect experience. Bookmark favorite sessions, speakers you just can’t miss and more when you download the app.
  • Messages: Want to connect with a fellow attendee at the conference? Maybe plan for a quick happy hour ahead of time? Send them a message via the WIRL Summit app! The Messages feature allows you to connect with fellow attendees before, during and after the conference.
  • Conference Details: This is what we like to call the lowdown. Here’s where you’ll find all the details to make this your best Summit yet. FAQs, transportation information, info on our fabulous pop-up shops … it’s all there.

Did I mention if attendees download the app before April 25, you’ll be entered to win a free WIRLC membership? We’ll also be featuring some swag sneak peaks and giveaway opportunities over the next two weeks.

This week, The Inner Circle is full of great content. Notably, be sure to check out our podcast with one of this year’s Top Women in Retail honorees, Helen Vaid, who is the chief customer officer at Pizza Hut. Helen joined Women in Retail Leadership Co-Founder (and Total Retail Editor-in-Chief) Melissa Campanelli for a recent podcast episode. Also, don’t miss our interview with Jessica Herrin, CEO and founder of Stella & Dot.

See you soon in sunny Miami 🙂
