From low-budget marketing ideas to next-gen trends and creating unmissable in-store experiences, it’s content that works around your time, not the other way around. No fluff, just focused insights that make a difference. RETAIL CORNER is a hub for industry icon trend talks, trend forecast presentations and practical sessions. The mini stage will facilitate a myriad of sessions from merchandising masterclasses to Pitch Live competitions. BUYERS RETREAT is an ambient oasis off the show floor exclusively for buyers to unwind and regroup.
