In 2018 we took our study tour to the amazing China to see the latest innovations.
In 2019 we will visit Los Angeles and San Francisco in the USA. See the latest in innovative retail – convenience stores and others; explore the latest in store and unstaffed store technology and data management and use; interact with key leaders in the famous Silicon Valley; explore on demand fueling for cars as well as driverless car deliveries already taking place…..and so much more…..
Amazing hotels for our group ….. Located in the cool and trendy Soma district, the W San Francisco offers luxurious, yet edgy accommodation. Located in the heart of the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, Kimpton ‘The Everley’ hotel is a beautiful property large enough to host our group and small enough to feel like home….. and terrific dinners for the group in all areas after the day’s work is done.
