McMillon to speak at CRE event

The Emerging Trends in Retail conference will take place at a new data and time, but the big news is that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., president and CEO Doug McMillon will headline the annual event put on by the Center for Retailing Excellence.



For much of its 15 year history the one day conference has been held in October near or on the campus at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, home to the Sam M. Walton College of Business and the Center for Retailing Excellence. This year, the event date has been moved to June 11 and will be held at the Northwest Arkansas Convention Center in Springdale, Ark.
