World Retail Congress has been the premier forum for retail leadership since 2007, uniting CEOs and C-suite executives from across global retail. Over three days, attendees gain cutting-edge insight into retail innovation, consumer behaviour, AI adoption and market-shaping strategies, supported by a trusted senior network.
Created for leaders navigating rapid disruption, the programme explores the forces redefining the industry, drawing on global economic analysis, academic research, policymaking and NGO expertise.
In 2026, the Congress moves to Berlin, Germany’s centre of retail innovation, bringing together international leaders to advance strategic thinking and shape the future of retail.
