Workshops
We run a series of workshops throughout the year, providing a safe and collaborative learning space. Our workshops will equip you with the relevant insights and tools to gain a deep understanding of the retail landscape, growth channels, key trends, and disruptive innovations.
These workshops bring 3 perspectives together:
- The retail intelligence expertise, with presentations from the Retail Cities’ senior experts in retail insights.
- The CPG view, with presentations from ex-CPG senior executives, who currently advise CPG clients.
- The retailer view, with presentations from ex-retailer executives, who currently advise CPG/Retailer clients and set up retail operations globally.
