What You Missed at TRV 2016: A Tweet Roundup

Last month, Total Retail presented its annual Total Retail Virtual Conference & Expo (TRV), a virtual event for retailers that combined educational content and networking opportunities. It was a day-long conference that brought the latest retail trends, ideas and technologies right to your computer — for FREE. (If you missed the live date, don't worry. You can access all of the exceptional content from TRV by registering to view it on-demand!)

The day began with an all-female panel discussing their startup stories, followed by a video with Eoin Comerford, CEO of Moosejaw, who discussed the brand's fanatical customer base. Speakers from Influencer Central and Pawstruck.com explained the best tactics for finding and using influencers; marketplace pros from Bluefly, Newegg, Wal-Mart and Shop.com offered their thoughts on during a session titled, "More Than Just Amazon: Why Marketplaces Are An Increasingly Popular Option for Retailers and Brands"; and, last but not least, emerging in-store technologies were discussed with Eric Anderson, executive vice president of portfolio brands, Fossil.

As you can see, it was busy and informative day. Once again, if you missed it, catch the sessions on-demand here. Also, check out all the tweets from this year's TRV by searching #TRV16 on Twitter. Here's a roundup of our favorites:
