Retail Week Live 2024 | Retail Week | 11 March 2024 | Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London, 200 Westminster Bridge Rd, London SE1 7UT, UK

This is the annual retail gathering where ideas are shared, strategies are debated and solutions are formed. We create a space that stimulates conversation and collisions - of both ideas and people.

It's where the brightest and most curious minds across retail talk openly. About the things that matter. From people, to performance, to planet and products.

We create, curate and champion the great narratives, the great ideas and the great personalities from across UK retail.

We bring the art of storytelling to the heart of retail.
