Summary

Redefining The Future of Retail Together

On the first day of the Retail Technology Show, we will bring together influential voices, theatre speakers, and visionary retail leaders for an exclusive dinner designed to ignite meaningful discussions and foster valuable connections.

Together, we’ll rethink strategies, reimagine possibilities, and redefine the future of retail.

As retail leaders and professionals across travel, luxury, and hospitality and more embrace tools and strategies to thrive in an ever-competitive landscape, the focus remains on driving volume, maximising margins, and achieving efficient sales.

This push for growth and efficiency is no longer confined to traditional retail. The retail-driven mindset is now shaping diverse industries, enabling them to adopt innovative strategies for customer loyalty and sustainable growth—key to thriving or even surviving in today’s demanding market.

We invite you to a special post-show dinner to honour our exceptional speakers taking centre stage in the RTS theatre, celebrate our industry, and continue exchanging ideas as we work toward shared progress and innovation.
