Testimonials

“Using their keen observations, Snoeck points the way to retailers who are already defining the trends and will be table stakes for anyone in retail in the near future.”

Bob Phibbs
The Retail Doctor

“We face worldwide challenges, like resource scarcity, which have an enormous impact, even close to home. We cannot escape the future, but whoever listens to Jorg's keynote, is ahead of the pack!”

Wouter Kolk
Former CEO Ahold/Delhaize Europe & Indonesia

“Healthy paranoia, curiosity and common sense to follow up on new, disruptive trends in retail and technology are absolutely necessities to remain successful – or even just relevant – in the future. This innovative speech is a very good place to start.”

Dirk Van den Berghe
Former Executive Vice President Walmart Inc - Regional CEO Asia and Canada

“Even though I am quite familiar with (online) retail, Jorg Snoeck still managed to surprise me. It’s great that plenty of examples he used end triggers its audience continuously: it really puts you to thinking and you’ll very regularly find your thoughts wandering, pondering the questions risen.”

Frans Colruyt
Former COO Colruyt Group

“This keynote clearly indicates the essential trends that keep you on your toes as a retailer, pushing your organization to be fluid and at the top of its game.”

Erwin Van Osta
CEO Hubo

“One does not need doomsday theories or expensive seminars on “disruption” to win, but several factual guidelines to go on this journey. A passion for the industry and actual advice are the combination that charachterizes this keynote.”

Bart Claes
CEO JBC

“We will feel the effects of the digital revolution that is hurtling by. Snoeck has written a very relevant update! He informs, inspires, confronts and launches an enormous call to reflection and call to action. It is wonderful to see such a high-quality speech. A must for everyone who loves retail.”

Wouter Torfs
CEO Torfs

“Retail is the mirror on society, as it has always been. With ever-faster societal changes, customer-focused businesses have to adapt rapidly. One does not need doomsday theories or expensive seminars on “disruption” to win, but several factual guidelines to go on this journey. A passion for the industry and actual advice are the combination that characterizes Jorg Snoeck.”

Frank De Moor
CEO Q-Park

“What I love about Snoeck is their look at the experience from a 360 perspective: everything from the data to the human centric design. As they show, the future of retail isn’t just about a shift from physical to digital and back again, its about the spaces in between.”

Billie Whitehouse
CEO Wearable X

“Jorg clearly shows that there is a fragmentation on the demand side and temporary fragmentation at the supply side, while technology serves as a matching partner. This requires a concentration (of platforms) and a curated product range. This conundrum is then displayed in a broader spectrum, to show that it is merely the start of the “future of retail”, which is an essential insight to survive this brave new world.”

Cor Molenaar
Marketing professor at the RSM/Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam
