Retailers are facing an ever-changing landscape as they strive to keep up with the demands of the modern consumer. To help them stay ahead of the curve, Retail Gazette is hosting the inaugural Future Consumer Debate. The event, which is free-to-attend for senior leaders from retail, will take place on the 18th of May at the Courthouse Hotel in Shoreditch, London.
The debate will bring together some of the most influential names in retail, including Jigsaw CEO Beth Butterwick, Next Beauty CEO Amanda Scott, Clarks CIO Simon Clarke, and Ikea UK Sustainability Manager Greg Lucas. The half-day event will provide a platform for these leaders to discuss the hot button issues impacting the industry today, such as sustainability, pricing, and the successful integration of AI and e-commerce technology.
Retail Gazette Head of Events Nikita Wolski said, “The Future Consumer Debate is not another seminar. The format and setting have been carefully curated to inspire debate over the hot button issues that are impacting business today. We’re thrilled to have so many inspiring leaders onboard, from Amanda Scott and Beth Butterwick, to Clarks CIO Simon Clarke and Ikea UK Sustainability Manager Greg Lucas. We are looking forward to watching the debate unfold and seeing the impact these conversations will have.”
KPMG analysis has found that retail profitability has declined by over 50% globally over the last ten years. This event will provide an opportunity for retail leaders to come together and discuss the best way to engage and appeal to their customers in this changing consumer landscape.
The Future Consumer Debate is in partnership with Clearpay, Confer With, Dive Without Fear, Endava, GXO, Locala, Mirakl, Opia, Seen Studios, and SheerID. Those interested in attending can find out more and register here: https://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2023/04/jigsaw-future-consumer-debate
