NEW YORK–New York City will be host to the third annual Personalization
Summit, to be held April 1-3 at the New York Hilton.

The Personalization Summits says attendees will include major retailers, leading financial
service and insurance providers, and the travel and services industries. In addition, they say
a broad array of suppliers will be showcasing breakthrough products to the personalization
space as well as proven solutions for Personalization, CRM and retail.

“The Personalization Summits continue to be a top draw year after year for a couple of
reasons. Certainly the economy has forced many companies to seek additional ways to build
lasting relationships with their customers. Personalization and CRM are a proven way to
ensure those relationships,” said Steve Larsen, president of the Personalization Summits.
“In addition the use of these applications continues to broaden- a few years ago,
personalization began with online retailers. Today, multichannel retailers, insurance and
financial institutions, the travel industry, even the health care industry is looking at
ways to apply these technologies to their businesses.”

Personalization Summits says featured speakers will include:

  • David Pottruck: President and Co-CEO of Charles Schwab, Author
    of Clicks and Mortar.

  • Don Peppers: Author Enterprise One-to-One, and The One-to One
    Fieldbook, speaking on “The ROI Imperative For One-to-One
    Personalization”
