The Feb. 21-24 event will feature opportunities for deals, discounts and education for independent retailers, regardless of their affiliation, the company emphasized.

Cupcakes, named America’s top Young Entrepreneur by BusinessWeek, will share how to create a wave of loyalty and obsession around products, business and within teams through the power of social media and experiential branding.
The RBPC will focus on business marketing and technology innovation as well as roundtable sessions.
Another highlight on the agenda is the Friday afternoon multimedia general session, followed by live entertainment from Night Ranger and Creedence Clearwater Revisited
