Bazaarvoice Retailer Summit

Honestly, if you didn’t attend the Bazaarvoice Retailer Summit 2021 you missed out. It’s not every day you have the chance to hear from multiple marketing and retail leaders. In the same place. At the same time. (At least not for free!) From our own CEO Keith Nealon to guest keynote speaker Sucharita Kodali, our speakers brought the (virtual) house down.

But we get it. People are still playing post-lockdown catch up. Life is busy. So not everyone could tune in to the main event. That’s why we’ve put together this recap for you. For those who missed the event, but also for those who tuned in, loved it, and want to revisit it.

Key takeaways from Bazaarvoice Retailer Summit 2021

The main theme of this year’s Bazaarvoice Retailer Summit was “Your view into what’s next.” Here we’ll take a look at the specific key takeaways from the event, and even share the live recordings for you. Let’s dive right in.
