Welcome | Fáilte
In an age where digital disruption and change
in consumer expectations are driving a
profound transformation in the Irish retail
industry we all need support to help us gain
that all-important competitive edge! There is a
new generation of retailers out there who are
delivering a winning combination of
outstanding service in store and ground-
breaking technology online and we need to find
out how! At the 2019 Retail Retreat & Expo you
will meet the experts on both and learn how
you too can deliver the complete memorable
shopping experience which the modern day
consumer now not only craves but expects.
With a host of information labs running over
both days, you will learn about next generation
technology which will drive shoppers into your
store and online. You will learn how to deliver
the ultimate instore shopper experience and
how to bring your business to life.
The conference is about meeting the very best
Partners to the industry, witnessing
presentations from Irish retailers who have
successfully forged ahead to the next level and
from experts in all fields surrounding our
industry. It is about networking with decision
makers and influencers.
