I am pleased to share exciting news about the upcoming 15th Poland & CEE Retail Summit scheduled for 2024. We have fantastic news! In addition to our well-known Retail Summit, which attracted over 2,000 attendees and 249 speakers in 2023, we are delighted to announce the addition of the eRetail Congress and the European Circular Retail Congress to one event pool. These events, also organised in partnership with the European Circular Retail Foundation, will provide all attendees with a unique and valuable experience, with a particular focus on sustainability, digitalisation, strategy, retailer-supplier collaboration and supply chain.
Our goal is to provide a unique meeting that combines the best of all three events with insightful discussions led by industry-leading speakers – carefully selected retail executives from Poland and CEE. We are proud to bring together over 300 industry-leading experts representing the highest levels of the country and the CEE region.
To ensure the success of such an important event, careful preparation is essential. As part of this, we have planned a series of smaller pre-conference meetings leading up to the grand finale scheduled for 9-10 April 2024. These events will prepare the ground for this extraordinary gathering of influential CEOs, important dignitaries and prominent figures from the retail industry.
The trip was inaugurated with a pre-conference CEO Dinner held on 18 May 2023. The presence of Lech Wałęsa – former President of Poland, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and key figure in the Solidarity movement – added extra prestige to the meeting. His extraordinary leadership and invaluable experience served as an inspiration to all participants, highlighting the profound impact of his activities on Poland and the world at large.
Former President of Poland Lech Wałęsa graced the 5th Pre-Conference CEO Dinner with his presence, laying the groundwork for Retail Summit 2024, and it was an evening full of inspiration and collaboration between industry influencers.
After the summer break, we are looking forward to a new series of industry dinners preparing the ground for the Poland & CEE Retail Summit 2024. These meetings will bring together influential leaders – experts in their field who will shape the future of retail. We will kick off in September with four exclusive Solution Provider dinners, focusing on the key areas of sustainability, eCommerce, supply chain and digital innovation.
Following the series of dinners in September, we will continue to host additional dinners tailored to professionals from different sectors of the retail and consumer goods industry in the following months.
We are excited to personally invite you to attend these pre-conference events, as well as the highly anticipated 15th Poland & CEE Retail Summit on 9-10 April 2024.
Let’s join hearts and minds to shape the retail industry!
