WHAT'S NEW
We’re shaking things up this year! Our newly reimagined feature areas are packed with fresh content, practical insights, and real support—all designed to help independent retailers grow, adapt and thrive in a competitive market.
BUYERS RETREAT
A buyer-only, peaceful oasis where you can refresh, reflect, and take meetings in private.

Retail Corner will facilitate a myriad of sessions from masterclasses, trend forecast presentations by our official trend partner BDA London and inspiring industry icon interviews. Retail Corner serves to inspire and educate our retail community.
