Jay Valgora to Speak at StoreXpo 2006
Thursday, Dec. 7, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
 Renowned architect and urban designer Jay Valgora is the featured speaker at a PAVE-sponsored session at StoreXpo in New York in December. The session is titled "The Department Store Dilemma: What's Next? Epicenter-A New Vision for Active and Interactive Retail."
Today's merchants must find new avenues for growth, keep costs under control, and project their brand. They need a new way to retail that meets both the needs of consumers and the realities of business. Valgora, principal of Studio V Architecture, presents a new template for the shopping experience, The Epicenter Collection, a retailing revolution. By combining the technology and convenience of online and catalog shopping with superb store retailing, it allows a unique community of merchants to sell their products in an innovative way. It enables merchants to create their own retailing spaces within Epicenter's striking architectural framework and keep start-up costs low.
The session is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 7, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. For more information, visit http://www.p-a-v-e.info/events/events_storexpo.cfm.
Tickets are available for $85 and can be purchased online through StoreXpo..
