An exclusive one-day Interactive Retail Workshop - 14th November 2017
Register today: From CCTV to Video Analytics: Developing a Framework for the use of Facial and Feature Recognition Technologies in Retailing 14th November 2017
In the retail world, technological change continues at a remarkable pace with new modes of shopping, checking out and payment emerging on a seemingly weekly basis. In the sphere of video technologies, rapid change is also evident, particularly with regards to facial and feature recognition, offering retailers extraordinary opportunities to begin to identify and interact with their customers. But at the same time these emerging technologies are also seen to be pushing at the boundaries of consumer privacy, raising concerns about their use on the high street. Are they simply a natural evolution in the use of various forms of technologies that are transforming the retail experience or do they represent a dramatic change in the extent to which consumer privacy and anonymity is being undermined?
The aim of this free-to-attend workshop is to explore these issues in relation to the use and implementation of facial and feature recognition systems by retailers. Bringing together some of the leading experts in this area, this one-day workshop will focus upon:
- Describing the emerging technologies offering facial and feature recognition in retailing.
- Critically reviewing the guidelines and practices covering CCTV use in retailing and the sharing of visual images.
- Understanding the legal framework within which these technologies are likely to operate.
- Assessing the potential impact of these technologies on consumer privacy.
- Understanding the retailer perspective on how these technologies can be used for crime control and profit improvement.
- Developing a framework of best practice for the future use of these technologies in retailing.
This workshop is aimed at: retailers; shopping mall managers; retail marketing executives; law enforcement; criminal justice practitioners. To express an interest in attending the event please register HERE
