“I have been coming to the Retail Success Summit for several years and I can’t even imagine missing one. This is my tribe. These are people who get me. This is a place where I can talk about real things that matter to my business without being super corporate and being in a very relaxed environment. Plus, I’m having a damn good time!”

~ Patty Zeller, Animal Connection, in Charlottesville, VA

“It’s great to to meet new people and, make those store friends, and it’s a reminder that you’re not the only one in the in the boat when things are going wrong or you need a little support, encouragement, or new ideas for things to do in your store, the Retail Success Summit is the place to come to get those ideas, get that encouragement, and find that motivation that you need to take your business to the next level.
