Are you a Retail Innovator looking for explosive content and to expand your network?
RetailFest, brought to you by the creators of The Retail Hive, is a brand new event experience designed to fundamentally disrupt the traditional landscape.
Our mission is to ensure you:
Swap challenges, solutions and successes with the best of your peers in your discipline
Connect, exchange and collaborate with the leading minds from outside of your discipline to expand your knowledge and network
See, hear and feel the latest solutions to your greatest challenges through our hand-selected, by-referral-only partners – at RetailFest, you’ll be connected with only the companies that are walking the walk, and not just talking the talk
And your colleagues learn, network and socialise together to strengthen team ties, create memories and go back to the office equipped with a wealth of ideas to accelerate your transformation strategies
Lift your head up from the home office, the hot desk or the hustle and bustle of the city to broaden your horizons in the tranquillity and luxury of Oakley Court’s luscious lawns on the banks of the River Thames
OUR MISSION
