Now that the dust has settled I’ve had time to reflect on my journey at RetailNow – hosted by RSPA (Retail Solutions Providers Assocation).
It’s true what they say, RetailNow really is “where the industry meets”. And I experienced that first-hand recently when Source Technologies attended the show and continued the launch of our newest product line of intelligent thermal barcode printers. We demonstrated the STp.1120n, the first installment in ST’s Performance Series, and two mobile printers including the STm.57 & STm.117, ideal for printing on-the-go in all retail environments.

Three days of networking and meet & greets with some of retail’s top companies and thought-leaders can only lead to one thing: a complete and totally awesome learning experience! How could you not be excited after attending the keynote, where I’m pretty sure I’ve adopted my new life motto: “Action & adaptability create opportunity”, spoken by the enthusiastic Garrison Wynn.
And speaking of networking – what a great time to catch up with our favorite guys over at Business Solutions Magazine (BSM). Our very own Mimi Bartholomew, Director of Alliances, gave a video description and demo including the in’s & out’s of our STp.1120n. Stay tuned for the video to make its debut soon!

Overall, between the education sessions and networking with people in the industry, because again – it’s where they meet, it was an extremely productive show and conference.
Source Technologies - RetailNow 2011
As if my thoughts and opinions aren’t enough to make you jump up and down at your desk – I’ll leave you with a few words on the show from Keith Hamilton, Sr. VP of Sales at Source Technologies: “The conference exuded positivity and high-energy towards the growth of the retail market today. The show was well organized and attendance was at a record high. We were excited to use RSPA as a vehicle to launch our thermal product line and were able to spend quality time in front of some of our most valued resellers as well as get in front of potential reseller partners and interact with other RSPA members.”
