Dayton, Ohio — Interbrand Design Forum, the world’s largest retail brand consultancy, is the presenting sponsor of the GlobalShop Conference for the fourth consecutive year. The 2009 show will take place in Las Vegas March 23-25, 2009 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center.

On Monday, March 23 from 10:30 a.m. — 11:30 a.m. Interbrand Design Forum’s president Bruce Dybvad will speak with Interbrand’s Global CEO Jez Frampton. The session (Session #3) is entitled “Retail Brand Experience: Who’s Getting It Right and Why” and will draw examples from the best retail brands in North America and Europe.

The presentation will explore how the design of a great experience plays a key role in the value of retail brand: the store’s ability to perform, grow and stay relevant. Attendees will find out how top retailers weave a powerful mix of meaning, brand strategy and consumer insight into a unique, engaging shopping experience that delivers the brand.

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 Monday through Wednesday, including these special events:

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