About the webinar
Big City retail has been devastated by the global pandemic. Offices are closed, tourism is impossible, residents have moved to the countryside. As a result, retailers and retail industries have evolved and will relaunch with a new approach, new attitude, and new services. The world has never seen so much reinvention of retail in such a short period of time.
Join our experts as they explore reinvention case studies and what these mean for the retail landscape of 2025.
Why attend?
We’ll cover case studies that have not received global attention, yet have implications for all industries. Most executives are discussing businesses that are growing right now rather than those that are trying to reorganize and survive. This is a kin to watching a boxing match where the prize fighter has his strongest hand tied behind his back. Tourist/travel retail shops, fashion stores, restaurants, cinemas, bars and clubs, will all come back with a roar one day. So why not get a jumpstart on understanding how they have transformed during this pandemic?
Who should attend?
Retail industry professionals in the hardest hit parts of this pandemic, including fashion, fast delivery, foodservice, travel, and entertainment verticals. All attendees will find examples and stories that motivate, inspire and paint a new picture of the future. Professionals from other industry verticals will hear heartwarming stories of survival and success to help generate optimism while most people are on their knees.
