The World Retail Congress brings together the most senior retail industry leaders and influencers from around the world to learn, share, debate and discuss the issues that are shaping retailing.
In working closely with those leading the industry, along with our Advisory Board, it is clear how much importance is placed on nurturing the talent within retail businesses that exist just a few levels below the Executive or Main Board.
The Retail Accelerator Programme has been designed to provide deep-dive sessions on topics critical for senior executives in retail businesses looking for a wider knowledge and understanding of the industry, connecting them with peers to accelerate their careers to top leadership.
The Programme is unique and invaluable - taught by a line-up of “Professors” from the retail industry who each have wide-ranging experience in running retail businesses at all levels and sectors.
The Retail Accelerator Programme:
- Designed for senior executives in a retail business currently one or two levels below the Executive or Main Board
- Nominated by their senior management, as part of a delegation or with a Boardroom Package
- Limited to 40 participants for close-contact learning
- Access to exclusive, intimate workshops curated for the Accelerator Programme and the full World Retail Congress main programme
The full 2026 programme is currently in development. Please check here for further updates.
Monday 27th April:
13:30 - 17:00 - Flagship Store Tours
Accelerator Programme attendees are guaranteed access on one of the brilliant Flagship Store Tours. Take your learning to the streets as you are guided around Berlin's top retail concepts by CEOs and Executive Teams.
