While you're here, check out our key topics shaping the 2025 agenda
Data-Driven & AI-Augmented Retail Intelligence
Modern retail demands more than dashboards and datasets. In an age of conflicting KPIs, global unpredictability, and shrinking margins, retailers are transforming forecasting, planning, and operations into intelligent, responsive systems.
Product Curation & Innovation Under Pressure
What sells today might not sell tomorrow — and what can be delivered is no longer guaranteed. This is where product, format, and merchandising teams rethink their playbooks.
Brand Identity, Loyalty & Customer Experience in a Shifting World
In a landscape shaped by cultural shifts, generational divides, and algorithmic discovery, brands must earn affinity with intention.
Leading Through Volatility & Change
Leadership in 2025 requires dual vision: the clarity to operate in crisis and the foresight to bet on what’s next.
Our leadership programming, in particular, is something we’re deeply excited about this year—think of it as a mini-C-Suite summit within the broader event. In 2025, the mandate for executives is far more complex than ‘growth.’ It’s about navigating paradox: cutting costs while betting big, unifying culture while decentralizing teams, surviving the present while building for a future no one can fully predict.
