The 2017 Global Retailing Conference will take place at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort in Tucson, AZ from April 20-21. The ultimate goal of this conference is to provide individuals and organizations with information, strategies, and ideas that can assist them in succeeding in the global marketplace.
Networking at this event is a great way to generate eCommerce leads, and it is truly for anyone wanting to know more about both the opportunities and challenges that exist within the retail industry. Yet another perk of the Global Retailing Conference is that sponsors and exhibitors have the ability to directly connect with eCommerce leads during the event, and List Genius is a great tool to use in preparation.
This is one of those events that draws in some major names, such as Martha Stewart back in 2011. Just a few of the speakers who will be at the 2017 Global Retailing Conference include:
The 2016 Global Retailing Conference was held at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. This desert oasis truly does have it all. With luxurious guest rooms and suites, two heated swimming pools, two PGA golf courses, and spectacular views of the Catalina Mountain range, staying at this resort is a real treat. However, rooms at the conference venue can fill up quickly. If you need to find alternate accommodations or you just want to see what else is in the area, here are a few nearby hotels for you to check out.
The Lodge at Ventana Canyon (1.1 mi) – Nestled in the Santa Catalina Mountains, this AAA Four Diamond property offers one of the top lodging and golf experiences in the Tucson area. As an added bonus, it is less than five minutes away from the conference venue.
The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa (5.5 mi) – Located in the Sonoran Foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, this resort features spectacular accommodations and amenities. Whether you want to treat yourself to a spa service or explore the five different pools, this is the perfect place to relax after a day at the conference.
Embassy Suites Tucson – Paloma Village (6.2 mi) – This modern hotel in the Santa Catalina Mountains will make you feel right at home, since every suite has a separate living and sleeping area. Plus, the hotel also offers complimentary breakfast each morning, to get you energized and ready for a day at the conference.
Attending an event like the Global Retailing Conference provides you with the unique opportunity to be surrounded by professionals in the retail industry. Whether you want to host a networking event or an intimate dinner, here are several event venue suggestions.
Azul Restaurant & Lounge – Located within the Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa, this upscale restaurant specializes in creating Southwest-infused dishes with locally sourced ingredients. From crispy calamari to duck confit tacos, your guests are sure to enjoy this unique cuisine.
Flying V Bar & Grill – Located within the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, your guests can enjoy Southwestern food in front of the fireplace or surrounded by the mountain views. With dishes like buffalo sliders, ceviche, fresh fish, and prime steaks, there is something for everyone. This restaurant even has an extensive Tequila collection, with 70 different varieties.
When traveling to the desert, you can expect the temperatures to be pretty warm. The average high in the middle of April is right around 85 degrees and the average low drops to around 51, so make sure you pack accordingly for the varying temperatures.
The thing about attending a conference in the middle of the desert is that things tend to be spaced further apart. For your own convenience, it is probably easiest to rent a car. This way you can get wherever you want without having to wait on some other form of transportation. Of course, you can always call a taxi or get an Uber as well.
The Tucson desert is a beautiful place to visit. If you want to explore during your free time, here are a few popular sights and attractions that you should check out.
Arizona Historical Society Museums – If you like learning about the history of different places that you travel to, there are several museums in Tucson that may peak your interest. The Arizona History Museum, Downtown History Museum, Fort Lowell Museum, and Sosa-Carrillo-Frémont House all tell different stories about the history of Tucson.
La Encantada Shopping Center – This premier shopping destination in Tucson has pretty much everything you could need. With stores like Kate Spade and Anthropologie, you can get in a little retail therapy during your work trip.
Sabino Canyon Tours – While you are in the area, take advantage of this opportunity to explore the desert canyons. You can go through the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains to fully experience the beauty of the desert. Whether you choose the narrated tour that covers 3.8 miles or the non-narrated option where you can select your own trail, you are sure to be amazed by the wonders of nature.
