Dr. Marc Schumacher, managing partner of the Zeitgeist Group and Liganova: The BrandRetail Company, is an expert in marketing and retail with a keen sense of the changing landscape. In his Arena* presentation, Schumacher will share some of the insights he’s gained while running an 80-million-euro organization, staging trade and fashion shows, launching store concepts, and spearheading conceptual studies that look to the future of retail. He will also look at ways hotels can improve the guest experience and create moments that last forever.
