What's Inside

Coresight Research is a longstanding research partner of the annual Shoptalk conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, US. The event unites executives from retailers, consumer-facing brands and technology vendors across physical stores and e-commerce to discuss the latest trends, innovations and challenges in the industry.

Deborah Weinswig, CEO and Founder of Coresight Research, emcees the Startup Pitch and serves as the lead judge.
