RETAILING: RECESSION TO RECOVERY 
AL MEYERS
Senior Vice President, Business Development
Retail Forward, Inc.

The world of retailing has changed dramatically this year. The global economy has
slowed rapidly and the United States is in the midst of a recession. Consumers are
cutting back in light of job worries and spending pressures. Companies are reeling
as credit markets tighten and consumers pull back. When will the retail economy
improve? What will it take to drive improvement? When the recovery comes, what
will the retail economy look like, and which consumer sectors will be positioned to
recover first and what will their new shopping behaviors look like? This session
looks at the retail market fundamentals that retailers and manufacturers need to
understand and respond to as they work through the current environment and plan
for the future.
