What to Expect

The Autumn Retail Festival is friendly and relaxed — but make no mistake, it’s ruthlessly commercial.
Built for senior people who want to learn, connect, and get things done.

You’ll get access to four core events covering the hottest topics in retail right now. 

Jump between tracks or better still, bring your team and cover it all.

Event networking

But we're about more than the talks...

Explore live demos, see TikTok Live shopping in action and meet your next partner with RetailX Connect, our 1-2-1 meeting programme linking you directly with the best technology vendors in the game.


Check out our exclusive Retail Media roundtables. An application-only gathering of 50 senior retail media leaders from retailers, brands and agencies, designed not to talk at you, but to have you roll up your sleeves and get involved.

And if that's not all. All delegates will leave armed with exclusive reports on each key topic — real takeaways you’ll actually use.
