At Bay Cities, we’ve developed a well-oiled formula for event planning — especially when it comes to curating the Winning@Retail speaker lineup. Since the very first event, we’ve prioritized assembling speakers who are not only relevant and engaging but who deliver cutting-edge insights that help our clients win in a fast-changing industry.
Selecting the right speakers is no small task. Our conference strategy focuses on ensuring each speaker brings fresh, actionable perspectives that directly benefit our audience of retail, brand, and packaging professionals. We seek out individuals who have deep expertise and a proven ability to inspire and educate — not just talk theory.
For our highly anticipated brand and retail panels, we turn to our Sales team. These colleagues are deeply embedded in the retail ecosystem, working closely with top brands and retailers every day. These connections enables us to identify industry experts who can offer real-world lessons and forward-thinking strategies — and who are comfortable sharing them in an intimate, conversational setting.
Because Winning@Retail is held only every two years, we make it a priority to secure speakers who not only have credibility but also leave a lasting impression. Over the years, we’ve hosted some incredible thought leaders and have even had the privilege of welcoming back a few fan favorites who’ve become unofficial "guest stars" of the event.
What sets Winning@Retail apart isn’t just the speaker lineup, but the thoughtful event planning that surrounds it. As a trusted partner in packaging and in-store displays, Bay Cities is known for helping suppliers and retailers navigate complex projects — and we bring that same level of precision and care to planning our conference. We know the value of time, so we ensure that every session, every speaker, and every networking opportunity is worth attending.
