Developing the Next Generation of Retail Experience Design Talent

Experience may be the best teacher in retail design—but what if design students could fast-track some of those learnings to truly hit the ground running? Now you can help make it happen.

This pioneering session will help shape the launch of The Columbus College of Art & Design’s (CCAD) first-of-its-kind Master of Professional Studies in Retail Design, a program that will balance business acumen with innovation and creativity to help new retail design professionals succeed in the marketplace. Expect a lively discussion on the current state of the industry, the unique considerations of stewarding new talent, and the implications of recent shifts in consumer behavior!
