Store integration with social media can get people to instantly buy things that they discuss. Modern retailers need to mix the magic, convenience and savings of technology to keep customers coming and stay competitive. • How can retailers of different sizes use digital technologies to create a more compelling buying experience? • How can the big format retailers compete with digital retail platforms? • How can the customer recognition and tracking technologies be made more acceptable to the customers?

India and the UAE need to use the new technologies as trade multipliers and encourage greater bilateral flow of knowledge and people.  How can the emerging economies overcome the growing western resistance to global trade?  How could India and the UAE grow bilateral flow of trade, finance and people?  What can be done to promote global mobility of students and workers?
