Book your place at Summit19, the definitive convenience event of the year.
Summit19 is an unmissable conference, bringing together leading figures in the convenience sector with industry experts from around the world to take part in a discussion about the opportunities for retailers and suppliers in convenience, both now and in the future. This year’s conference will address two critical questions facing the sector, in two business sessions:
Session One: How are products going to reach the consumer? The UK’s 50,000 convenience stores reach into more communities than any other business sector, providing a truly local shop for millions of consumers. With customers constantly redefining convenience for consumers, what role will our sector play?
This session will investigate the trends and developments changing the retail supply chain and how consumers purchase products.
Session Two: What is the product offer of the future? Convenience stores are agile, changing their offer to meet the needs of their local communities and take advantage of emerging trends. This session will look at what convenience stores could be selling in the future, and how these products and services will make the sector even more relevant to the lives of consumers.
Whether you’re an independent retailer, part of a retail group or a supplier to the sector, Summit19 will inspire with new ideas and insights that you can take back to your business.
