your Downtown: </span></u></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">Many businesses collecting ‘big data’ can create internal silos and are unwilling to share their information. This is a game changer for planners,
economic developers, and downtown directors seeking to understand and build attractive markets for stores, restaurants, employment, and homes. This session provides a framework for the practical application of available ‘big data’ resources for local practitioners
regardless of their downtown development role. Learn strategies to find key new data and how to use that information in a way that differentiates and promotes your community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><strong><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">Part II: The Future of Retail Sales:
</span></u></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">From the advent of online shopping and show rooming to shifting American consumerism, retail trade in our communities is fundamentally changing in ways we’re just
now beginning to understand. What does this mean in terms of retail development for your downtown and throughout your community? Does community size really matter? And how do we deal with struggling retail development in the context of these major industry
shifts?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
