MicroD, a leading provider of online product catalog solutions and digital brand visibility for the home furnishings industry, has announced its inaugural user conference happening March 17 - 19, 2020 in Charlotte, N.C.
Named the DRIVE Conference, this user conference will be the first in the company’s history. After providing websites, product visualization, digital marketing, EDI and other web technologies for the home furnishings industry for 25 years, MicroD spoke to some of their 750+ retailers and manufacturers about hosting this user conference.
Scheduled around the industry’s pre-market and in the heart of the home furnishings hub, MicroD’s 3-day DRIVE Conference 2020 will be a callback to the spirit of our industry and the home-base NASCAR experience as its first user conference.
“We are thrilled to host our first user conference DRIVE 2020 this upcoming spring,” said Mona Nigam, EVP at MicroD. “We have received continuous feedback from our customers and partners about hosting a user-centric, education event, which led to DRIVE’s creation. We are committed to making it an invaluable experience for everyone.”
The DRIVE Conference 2020 will offer attendees a clear vision of the industry’s future, omnichannel commerce trends, and best practices about using web technology. Industry experts will teach strategies for website technology, eCommerce, visualization, marketing and more.
“One of the most important resources for our retailers is the shared knowledge of other home furnishings businesses in the MicroD ecosystem,” said Richard Sexton, chief product officer at MicroD. “We believe this will become a must-attend event due to the presence of these industry leaders and the networking potential, in addition to hearing from thought-leaders from some greatly respected technology companies outside of our industry.”
