INTERBRAND DESIGN FORUM ANNOUNCES LAUNCH PARTY AND SPECIAL EVENTS FOR GLOBALSHOP CONFERENCE
2nd Annual Most Valuable U.S. Retail Brands Report to be Unveiled March 11

DAYTON, OHIO— Retail brand consultancy Interbrand Design Forum will unveil the 2nd annual Most Valuable U.S. Retail Brands report at the GlobalShop Conference which will take place in Las Vegas March 10 – 12, 2010 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center.

The report will officially launch on Thursday, March 11 as Interbrand Design Forum’s CEO Lee Carpenter and Interbrand’s Global CEO Jez Frampton and present “The Most Valuable Retail Brands: What it Takes to Drive Choice” from 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (Session #12) and unveil the top 50 brands.

This annual ranking by brand value tells which of the top 50 retail brands rose and fell, but most of all, sheds light on what drives a brand’s performance and what ultimately influences the shopper. By drawing on insights from the study, attendees will learn which top retailers are flexible and adaptable enough to be relevant to the changed consumer and which have found ways to innovate.

During the show Interbrand Design Forum will welcome guests in Room 701, which is adjacent to the registration area and near the conference session rooms. The lounge will be open during show hours Wednesday through Friday, including these special events:

• Daily Breakfast begins at 9 a.m. Attendees can stop by for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat.

• “Jumpstart Your Creative Juices” Cocktail Party, Wednesday, March 10 from 2:30 – 5:00 p.m. As one of the world’s leading brand experience agencies, we know a few things about great creativity. Stop in for one of our signature cocktails and explore new ways to find inspiration.

• Most Valuable U.S. Retail Brands Launch Party, Thursday, March, 11 from 2:30 – 5:00 p.m. Join us as we celebrate the launch of the 2nd annual report. Enjoy a cocktail and discover who’s made the Top 50 list. Champagne toast at 4:15 p.m.

• Afternoon Breaks offer an opportunity to visit our space for ideas about delivering growth at retail and grab a snack or a cool beverage.
