More than 30 educational seminars – all presented by industry publications and associations – covered topics of sustainability, social media, home and color trends and retail strategies. After-hours, the 60th Annual Retailer Excellence Awards recognized excellence among new and established retailers and individuals in the gift, home and lifestyle industry.
