The New Retail is seamless shopping that is more convenient and accessible, more local and global—and more relevant to more consumers—than any retail experience yet. We’ll talk about taking advantage of the SoLoMo aspect of New Retail to provide new shopping experiences and help merchants sell more. We will demo building cool things with Milo APIs that make interacting immediately with the real world as fun as buying that neat shirt you see on TV or playing a game that introduces items you can shop for. We will also introduce and demo Where products and APIs for the Ad and Deals Network, the recommendation engine, and the PlaceGraph™.
