Future of Retail
The FT Future of Retail Summit returns in 2026 as the retail industry faces an increasingly complex and dynamic trading environment impacted by ongoing inflation and geopolitical tensions. Consumer spending power and retailer profitability continues to be affected, whilst technology is evolving alongside AI, omnichannel innovation and the demand for more sustainable practices. Retailers must find new ways to engage with increasingly discerning customers while also ensuring their business models are adaptable, resilient, and forward-thinking.
To tackle these challenges, old and new, the Future of Retail Summit returns to London. Gathering the most influential players in the European retail sector, this event will be a day of insightful discussions, networking opportunities, and deep dives into the innovations that are transforming retail.
