We will share details from CTA’s annual Consumer Technology Holiday Purchase Patterns study as well as touch on the impact of memory supply shortages, tariffs, and economic trends. Members will also be invited to share their experiences and expectations across all retail channels to build a more complete view of the season and what is resonating most with consumers.
