Apply for a free delegate pass worth £2,495* to World Retail Congress Rome on 8-10 September, with UK Trade & Investment.
The World Retail Congress was founded in 2007 in response to retailers seeking a platform for senior leaders to come together to discuss the major issues and trends affecting the industry. In delivering this agenda, the Congress has welcomed hundreds of senior retail speakers, from some of the world's biggest to the newest businesses as well as leading industry stakeholders from global economics, politics, finance and NGOs.
Since the Congress launched, the industry has faced challenges of unprecedented scale.
In 2014, the World Retail Congress programme took as its theme: Retailing in an age of disruption. It summed-up the feeling of the retail industry that every business was being challenged by disruptive technologies, changing consumers and disruptive new competitors.
The retail mood as we look forward into 2015 and beyond is that no-one can afford to standstill and that to survive in this disrupted age, retailers have to transform everything they do. It will be placed at the very centre of our theme for 2015: Transforming retail today, tomorrow and beyond.
Taking place from 8th-10th September in Rome, the 2015 Congress offers a variety of benefits for attendees. From start-ups to global conglomerates, from Director level to C-suite Executives, the Congress provides a platform for networking and relationship building, gathering insights and debate.
