"I attended the 2007 NAC's Study Tour and found the event inspirational - great networking opportunities, great stores and inspirational speakers. It was time well spent and I got a great feel for the US retail environment in a very short time. The whole event was well organized and enabled me to relax and focus on increasing my knowledge and bringing learnings back to the UK."
