Fighting back - how are retail destinations arming themselves for the future?
It’s time for you to fight back. And this year, we have a jam packed programme to ensure you can do just that. We’re heading to The Royal Armouries and there’s no better place to discuss how retail destinations are truly arming themselves for the future (see what we did there!)
We’ll be debating current hot topics and trends, including futureproofing and reinvention, food, beverage, leisure and technology through a variety of speakers and panel debates.
It’s the must-attend event for everyone involved in the Northern retail property and placemaking community – will you be there?
