If today is anything to go by, you'll want to be here tomorrow.
Buyers got stuck in from the moment the doors opened, walking the halls in search of suppliers they'd never met and put pen to paper on the spot. The Counter Talks Stage sent retailers away with the kind of thinking that pays for the trip twice over. If you missed it, there are still three days to get here and grab yourself a free ticket if you haven't got one yet.
Today at Autumn Fair
Pitch Live competition
Wilderly won the fashion, accessories and jewellery Pitch Live competition this morning. Esteemed judges Jeff Banks, Estella Arroyo and Sharon Good saw commercial retail potential from their colourful raincoats. Home and Gift is up tomorrow, 11am on the Counter Talks Stage.
500,000+ products, hundreds of brands and three days left to get round them all. Home and Gift take the Pitch Live stage, BIRA get straight into retail crime, Google are back with practical AI, and the Whatnot After Party runs 4pm to 8pm in The Clubhouse.
Discover four days of free retail talks, workshops and expert sessions, all live on the Counter Talks Stage.
Think of it as the industry's shop counter. It's where ideas are swapped, connections are made and the conversations that shape next season happen. Expect practical sessions on consumer trends, AI for retail, social media, visual merchandising and smarter buying, led by the people doing it best.
Browse the agenda below and pick the sessions worth a front-row seat.
Glee joins us Tuesday in Halls 17 to 20, so one ticket gets you home, gift, fashion and garden in a single trip. Already registered? Good, we'll see you there. Haven't got round to it? It's free and there are still 3 days left to buy, learn and connect.
