CIMMO Members Have 20% Coupon Code to Register for DX3 PLUSE

CIMMO is proud to announce another partnership with DX3. According to DX3 Pulse, as COVID 19 hits with a second wave, retailers and marketers are facing fundamental challenges, if not existential threats. At the DX3 event portal, the argument is that technology, rather than being the source of disruption, is scrambling to catch up. They see digital transformation in retail accelerated, reducing years in changes into weeks or months. Retailers and Marketers plunge deeper than ever into customer experience, highlighting safety in addition to personalization and convenience. DX3 Pulse represents an opportunity to rethink the future from the ground up, by having extremely relevant conversations. Sergio Frias, CIMMO’s Chief Customer Experience Officer will join thought leaders in retail and marketing to discuss the future of the industry, help people navigate these troubled waters, and share hope and hopefully provide clarity.

On the other hand, DX3 pulse speaking faculty will give industry insights on key focused areas: Retail, Marketing, and Tech. They will share their challenges and opportunities on how to build a brand and be relevant in this transformed environment. We urge you to take in as much as you can from this thought-provoking one-day virtual event.

This year, the DX3 PULSE theme will be about evolving, shifting practices, systems, and paradigms.  Businesses are in need of surviving and striving for the new reality. Suddenly changing consumers, buying behaviours and social interactions have forced us into rethinking the whole business proposition and product offering. Learn how to use and implement new tools, channels, and strategies toward success. Gain new ideas, diverse perspectives, and discover what leading businesses are doing to be successful in these pivotal times.
