The premier information and networking event for retail leaders in the region. Returning to Hong Kong for the first time since it's launch in 2011, the 2017 Retail Congress Asia Pacific will engage more than 300 senior members who will play an active role in depicting a fresh direction for the retail market. CEOs and Directors, innovation drivers and new industry disruptors are encouraged to market their knowledge and expertise.

This year the​ programme with its thought-provoking theme, ‘Reshaping Retail in Asia Pacific: Survive and Prosper’, aims to prepare businesses for the unknown. The future is imminent, and with tomorrow’s shopper becoming more technologically advanced than yesterday’s, there is an urgent need to understand and better connect with the modern customer.

Retail Congress Asia Pacific will be held on 10-11 October 2017 at the Kerry Hotel (part of the Shangri-La Group) in Hong Kong. It’s an exceptional opportunity to participate in networking, interactive seminars and thought-provoking talks to discover the best strategic insights for your business.
