2026 World Retail Congress theme - The Roadmap to 2030.

The pace of change in retail is constant, and only those who adapt to new technologies, consumer habits, and operations will thrive. Retailers must manage the challenges of the present day while constantly looking forward. Success lies in growth that is sustainable, practical and profitable.

In 2026, World Retail Congress will be located in Berlin, a city full of inspirational retail concepts. Join us to determine how to solve and win today, while strategizing for tomorrow, as we plan the retail roadmap to 2030.

With an agenda developed especially for senior retail leaders, the three days covers insights from global figures and brands to build strategies to drive growth in retail businesses across the world.
