FAQs
- There’s no storage on-site, so giveaways must fit within your partner area if you have one, or on your person.
- Aim for enough to cover your Roundtable or Workshop attendees, and a few for attendees you engage with (around 50 units maximum).
- Feel free to get creative with this, anything fun and unique always goes down well, or small practical items they might need, being at a predominantly outdoor event. Some examples could include stylish tote bags, sunglasses, hats, t-shirts, rain ponchos etc.
- Please do not bring notebooks or coffee cups, and of course, giveaways should be sustainable/reusable
Let us know if you will bring items with you or if you need the shipping info by contacting alethea@Thehive-network.com
- If you have a partner meeting area, it will be fully set up before your arrival, in line with the branding communications you have received, so you don’t need to worry about assembly. All you need to do is provide the artwork in line with the deadlines, and RetailJam will do the rest!
- Setup access: You can collect your badge and access your Solutions Zone Meeting point from 07:30am on the 19th June.
- Teardown: The event will conclude at 21:00 on the 19th June. The RetailJam team will be responsible for clearing your solution zone meeting point. Anything left at your meeting point will be discarded. To arrange for collection of any items please contact alethea@thehive-network.com
If you don’t have a partner meeting area and would like to check if there are still some left, please contact tom@thehive-network.com
Your badge will be available for collection as you enter RetailJam. Please have the RetailJam event app ready to display your profile, as this is required to collect your pass.
Relationships matter, and that’s why we’ve made sure to put networking at the forefront of what we do at RetailJam. Staying true to our dynamic, festival-style format, we offer ample opportunities to connect with your peers, all while keeping sustainability in mind.
This year, we’re introducing the RetailJam onsite networking app to make connecting easier than ever. Each attendee will have a personal QR code printed on their badge and accessible in the app. Use the app’s “badge scanner” to swap details with other attendees and jot down notes about your conversations. After the event, you can easily export your connections to keep the conversation going.
No business cards, no fuss – just simple, smart networking for 2025.
As mentioned we don’t require partners to be onsite until the morning of RetailJam, however here is a list of near-by hotels should you need them:
For any pre-event inquiries, feel free to contact me at alethea@thehive-network.com. I will also be onsite on event day and available to assist with any last-minute questions.
The Retail Jam Onsite Networking App
This year, we will be using our RetailJam onsite networking app for all things leads, connections and content. Everyone will have their personal QR code printed on their badges, as well as in the app on their phones. Use the “badge scanner” in the app to gather leads and make notes on your connections. These can then be exported post-event.
We’ll send all the login instructions to your email address provided during the onboarding process. The first user to sign in will be made admin of your company profile and prompted to set this up. We have pre-populated your personal and partner profiles with the information we have, however, you have time to edit your profiles before the app goes live to retailer and brand attendees.
We have a handy tutorial and pdf guide below covering the basics of the partner dashboard, including setting up your profiles, and managing your company profile, networking and connections. We will also be hosting a partner orientation to help you maximise your efforts leading up to and on the day of RetailJam
