London Retail: An Industry in Flux 2019 | Bisnow Media | 18 April 2019 | Cafe De Paris, 3-4 Coventry St, London W1D 6BL, UK

2018 has been a challenging year for retail, but the high street is not dead. It is simply changing and adapting to meet the changing needs and demands of today's consumer. The internet is no longer a threat but opportunity to connect digital and physical, creating a strategic omnichannel strategy to built multiple consumer touchpoints. But in order to get retail right in 2019, London's landlords and retailers need to offer superb consumer experiences in order to survive and thrive in an omnichannel environment and a post-Brexit era.

Come join Bisnow as we discuss the global retail investment market and wider trends that will have an effect on London's industry. We will examine how experience can be created through connectivity, tech and placemaking expertise. We will also delve into the F&B and fitness realm to get to the bottom of the wellbeing and leisure hype!

What you'll learn?
• How will Brexit affect the sector and investments in 2019?
• How will logistics and residential development further affect the development of retail destinations around the city?
• With reducing portfolios, where and what type of retail will be successful in the coming years?
• With an increased focus on experiential retail, are we getting the basics right? What are the most effective ways to incorporate online, smart data and tech solution within your existing portfolio?
• Artificial Intelligence, virtual reality, and personalization: Gimmick or must-have?
• Is wellness the new luxury? Where are leisure and F&B trends headed and how are they best incorporated into retail and regeneration schemes?
