In Las Vegas, retailers place their bets on innovation - Tech & Logistics - Retail Leader

Top executives from Target, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Alibaba and many other innovators shared their views on the future of commerce at the second annual Shoptalk, which drew more than 5,000 attendees. Simplification, the elimination of friction, the magic of mobile devices and the evolution of shopping were recurring themes through the first several days of Shoptalk. "Our members absolutely love Scan'n Go," Iannone said, explaining how it allows members to avoid the checkout line and simply show their mobile receipt as they exit the building. "It has helped drive frequency and sales and has been a really helpful innovation for us." As is the case at Sam's Club, Target Chairman and CEO Brian Cornell shared a retail world view that envisions the seamless integration of physical and digital.
