The "peacetime" in retail is over. Changes in consumer demand are driven by many circumstances in addition to the macroeconomic situation. Whether it is the classic offline players or online retailers who are taking an ever-growing bite of the market pie or a mix of both, everyone is looking for a model to win consumers.
This is why we believe it is vital that, in addition to the indispensable meeting, exchange of information and networking, actors in the retail sector hear lectures and discussions on the broader issues that affect the sector only indirectly, but which are all the more important, in addition to the most essential focal issues.
Such highlighted areas are the long-standing labour shortages in the sector, government interventions interfering with healthy mechanisms, and supply disruptions in the global economy. Naturally, the potential of machine support and automation will also be discussed, as well as how to maximise profits with the help of artificial intelligence.
Do not miss the most important retail event of the year, as the meeting, in line with Portfolio's tradition, creates an opportunity to exchange experiences and discuss the most significant challenges of the sector!
