TGlobal debate on the future of the retail industry now set for 25 to 27 October
Organisers today announced that the World Retail Congress will meet from 25 to 27 October, following this week’s unavoidable postponement when volcanic ash caused unprecedented travel disruption.
As previously scheduled, Berlin will host the annual meeting of the Global retail industry for the first time, with the Congress set to take place at the InterContinental Hotel.
Congress organisers are currently liaising with more than 100 industry experts who were set to speak, and expect most to confirm their participation for the newly announced dates. A number, including Michael Gould, Chairman & CEO, Bloomingdale’s; Heinz Krogner, Chairman, Esprit; and Mindy Grossman, CEO, HSN, Inc, are already confirmed, with the full line up and newly revised programme set to be announced in the coming weeks.
The World Retail Congress is the only truly international meeting of the global retail industry, with leading figures from across the sector drawn together to resolve the most crucial global issues. The World Retail Congress is organised by Emap Communications, in association with key sponsors, Deloitte, MasterCard and Oracle.
