Petco is going through a major transformation from a retailer to a pet health and wellness partner.  In recent store visits we saw first hand their focus on services and digital, two of the largest global trends in the industry.  A major part of their transformation initiative is a differentiated merchandise assortment with a focus on exclusive products. 

We are very fortunate to have Nick Konat, the Chief Merchandising Officer at Petco, as our special guest for this segment.  Nick will walk us through the transformation and what is means for current and new suppliers.

E-commerce is now the largest retail channel in the world for the pet category.  Join us for a conversation with Jack LI, Head of Business Development in the US for Alibaba.  We will focus the conversation on China cross border E-commerce and doing business with T-Mall global.

Over the past several months, the U.S. has rolled out vaccines across the country and now more people are eligible for their shots raising questions of how employers should navigate the vaccine for their workforce.  During this webinar, Kara Maciel, from Conn Maciel Carey, will discuss these important questions:
 
• May an employer mandate that some or all of their employees be vaccinated?
• Should companies require contractors, temporary employees and vendors be vaccinated?
• May a worker refuse to be vaccinated for medical, religious or other reasons?
• How do we handle an employee who insists on working remotely indefinitely?
• When all our workers are vaccinated, must everyone continue social distancing and wearing masks in the workplace?
• What liability does an employer face for requiring employees to be vaccinated?
