Top Retail Influencers Must See Lineup White

Groceryshop 2023

EuroShop is back and bigger than ever!

After 3 years, EuroShop is back and ready to bring the retail world together in the Düsseldorf exhibition halls. From February 26-March 2, 2023, we are attending the world’s number one retail trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Check out the Top Retail Influencers’ picks for the must see sessions, speakers, technology leaders and stores to visit during your time in Düsseldorf, Germany, and be sure to sign up for an exclusive interview with RETHINK Retail at the show.

“I am most looking forward to, not only the annual EuroCIS tech trade fair, but also the vast range of other retail supplies showcased at EuroShop every three years – from lighting and merchandising developments, to the latest tech and sustainability solutions. I’m particularly looking forward to the reta awards, having served as one of its judges for over 15 years now. The ceremony is always a highlight of the event for me. As to store tours, I would thoroughly recommend checking out the curated list from the event’s organizers themselves, here.”

— Miya Knights, Retail Technology Magazine Publisher, Author, Consultant

“This will be my third visit to Euroshop and I am excited to take a look at the new ideas, technology and materials on show. While NRF is very tech focused, Euroshop covers a wider range of retail topics and vendors, particularly relevant to those operating in the physical store space as well as e-commerce. The vast range of booths and extensive presentation programme delivers an experience that is very memorable and highly relevant to the current retail climate.”

— Ian Scott, Owner of Ian Scott Retail Consulting

Connected Retail Stage

Unified planning and optimization: Centralized to success

Tuesday, February 28th, 12:20 – 12:40 pm – Connected Retail Stage, Halle 6, Stand I03

Today’s supply chains are becoming ever more complex. Increasingly demanding consumers have resulted in an explosion of purchase and fulfillment channels. Retailers are adding new nodes to their supply chains to speed up customer fulfillment and increase customer satisfaction. In this session, Mike Taylor, Strategic Sales Solutions Architect at RELEX Solutions will describe how unified planning can break down silos, connect supply chain nodes and decision-makers, and deliver a truly optimized supply chain.

“Understanding how new technologies impact the customer and employee experience is absolutely essential to spending money on the right stuff. Money spent on tools like self-checkout, for example, can be fraught with failure if not implemented in concert with the right employee training. At Euroshop I’m looking forward to exploring new retail tech, learning more about how retailers are dealing with volatility, and enjoying the occasional Albier. I’ll also be visiting a few local stores like Ko, Sevens and the shops along the Girardet-Haus, so feel free to contact me if you’d like to join me on my tours.”
