The future of Retail: Panel & Private Reception

Wednesday 2nd July, 6:00pm

Retail is being rewritten: from how we shop to how businesses scale. AI is reshaping merchandising. TikTok Shop is redefining discovery. And sustainability is moving from buzzword to bottom line.

During an evening of sharp conversation, we’ll explore what’s next for the retail and consumer landscape. From boardroom shifts to startup breakthroughs, this panel brings together the leaders building the future, and those investing in it.

Expect a candid look at where retail-tech is really heading, from carbon-neutral supply chains to AI-led curation. Hear directly from founders, CEOs and investors,  and connect with a curated crowd of decision-makers across legacy brands, fast-growth startups and VC.

This event is ideal for consumer brand leaders, retail-tech founders, and investors working at the intersection of retail, tech and innovation.
