What is Retail Week Live?

Over the 27 years Retail Week Live has been running, retail has gone through many changes, but none perhaps more seismic than the COVID-19 pandemic.  With Coronavirus hitting retailers across the world indiscriminately, it is highly unlikely that life will return to the normality we all knew before current restrictions came into effect. We need to address a completely new set of challenges – together.

Building an ecosystem that can prepare for the new normal post Covid-19, fuelling growth and retaining loyal customers is critical to surviving in this climate. This where the new Retail Week Live comes in. Joining strategy and digital together, Retail Week Live will unite leaders and their teams to solve issues, align their thinking and meet key partners.

WHO'S SPEAKING IN 2020?

As a delegate of Retail Week Live, you will have access to both strategic and digital sessions across two days, with the opportunity to hear and learn from 150+ speakers, meet 50 of the latest start-ups and network with attendees from across the ecosystem and of varying levels within businesses.

Over 48 hours, the retail ecosystem will gather to network and be inspired by over 150 speakers who will be discussing everything from keeping your workforce connected in a crisis, how to pivot rapidly in times of change, collaboration and consolidation, and ethical consumerism, to the importance of building communities, the drastic shift to online, data and AI, and rethinking loyalty. Some exmaples of topics that will be covered are:

• How to better understand your data – and act on it
• How to put wellbeing at the top of your leadership agenda
• How to turn purpose and ethics into business success
• How will emerging technologies disrupt the core e-commerce experience?
• Should retailer's build technology in-house, or buy?
• How to accelerate revenue growth in a post-Covid world 
• How will emerging technologies disrupt the core e-commerce experience?

In between jam-packed content sessions there are plenty of networking opportunities and experiences around every corner, Retail Week Live is more than just a retail conference. You will not be bored.
