How to Take Advantage of One Giant Platform

LAS VEGAS—“Each year, RECon provides an excellent platform for us to connect with other industry professionals to discuss the evolution and future of retail, especially experiential retail,” explains Scott Acton, founder and CEO at Forté Specialty Contractors.
