From Fifth Avenue to Oxford Street — minus the jet lag.

We’re carrying the best ideas from NRF across the pond and translating them into practical insight for UK retail leaders. That means a clear-eyed look at AI-led transformation, emerging players shaping the market, and live use cases delivering measurable change – plus key insights from the 2026 Consumer Trends Report.

What to expect?

From practical learnings fresh from NRF New York, to market-disrupting demonstrations and personalised store tours – we will begin at our London office with speaker sessions to share key NRF learnings and innovative demos, followed by store tours to experience how the latest innovations are coming to life. We will then conclude with an opportunity to connect and unwind over networking and drinks at a nearby venue.
