Hello Omni Talk Fans. If you are like us, you are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning. If you are not like us, you probably had one hell of a Cinco de Mayo yesterday and are still working it off.
And. We. Are. Jealous.
Big content news to announce today before we get to the headlines.
On May 19th at 12 PM EST, I will be sitting down for a live LinkedIn interview and chat with Adeptmind's Managing Director, Jesse Michael, on everything it takes to make a mall shoppable online.
We are calling it Making Malls Shoppable Online 101 (catchy, huh?) and don't be surprised if Jesse and I call B.S. on many of the ideas floating out there and especially when it comes to OMS and POS integrations.
You can register quickly through LinkedIn by clicking above or on the button below.
