During the session, Alfieri shared insights into how technology and play can help to build brand success in retail spaces. “It’s a tremendous privilege and pleasure to speak alongside such a group of smart, talented industry professionals,” he says. “And it’s always a great experience being able to explore a topic like this one with an engaged audience. My thanks to Klaus and the TEA for inviting me back.”
