In addition to the 400+ suppliers on show, we offer an outstanding FREE conference programme featuring leading independent expert speakers in over 50 sessions and great interactive features, including the co-located Retail Design Expo and Retail Digital Signage Expo.

Every year we put together a list of highly regarded retailers to form a steering panel for the Picture of steering committee meeting forthcoming show.
