About World Retail Congress
World Retail Congress is the critical meeting and networking forum for the boardroom-level decision makers in retail. Recognised as the pre-eminent meeting place in the retail calendar, the World Retail Congress has brought together over 10,000 leaders of the global retail industry.
This year’s format has been consolidated to allow for more interaction, networking and one to one meetings. The curtain-closing Congress Gala Dinner and World Retail Awards will be the ultimate celebration for all attendees.
Retailers have stated that this year’s Congress programme should look to provide insight and a vision that will help in this period of transformation. To reflect this industry mood, the theme for 2015 will be: “Retail transformation today, tomorrow and beyond”
Each day will take a specific focus to help build a narrative that addresses the overarching theme. Day 1: The Challenges, Day 2: The Solutions, Day 3: The Future
