Future of Retail

The retail industry has experienced a tough couple of years and is now facing a period of high inflation, rising energy prices, the cost of living crisis and ongoing geopolitical volatility. Will sustainability remain a priority in a recession? How are retailers responding to changing consumer attitudes and spending? What new technologies are on the horizon to transform how we understand retail?

The FT Future of Retail summit will return in 2023 with uniquely crafted panels, lightning talks and high-level keynote speakers to address the big challenges facing the retail sector. Taking place across one day and in a hybrid format, the event will gather some of the biggest names in the industry. Delegates from retail, investment, tech, procurement and logistics and supply, will discover new approaches and strategies to help win market share, as well as learn tips for working together towards a more resilient, sustainable and technologically driven future for retail.
