My colleagues and I spent three days at the debut Shoptalk conference, which dubbed itself as “the nextgen commerce event,” in Las Vegas earlier this month. With more than 3,000 attendees and an impressive speaker lineup, we were all pleased to leave with new insights and ideas about where retail is headed in the short and long term, and what needs to be done to get ahead.

That’s why I’m incredibly honored to be named an Advertising Women of New York (AWNY) Working Mother of the Year, along with 19 other working mothers and extraordinary women in the field.

I recently participated in a fireside chat as part of VentureBeat’s Mobile Summit alongside American Eagle Outfitter’s Chief Digital Officer Joe Megibow. The session was moderated by the Wall Street Journal’s Rolfe Winkler with a focus on mobile devices.
