Join the debate
The great speakers and contributors we have lined up are sure to be thought-provoking but everybody at the conference is a vital participant in creating a rewarding and insightful event.
Please share your thoughts and reactions to what you see and hear – often some of the most rewarding moments come when the floor opens up to debate.
There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, both of main stage speakers and in the streams. You can comment too on Twitter using the hashtag #RWC2012.
Visit the exhibition
It’s always worth scheduling some time to look around what’s on offer from conference exhibitors. All sorts of partner companies to retailers have taken stands. If you have a retail-related issue that needs a solution, you’ll find plenty of ideas here.
Join the streams
While the main plenary sessions are host to keynote speeches and set the tone of the two days, a wealth of stream sessions enables you to delve deeper into your particular areas of interest with an expert panel.
Or you might like to choose a stream on a subject you’re less familiar with – sometimes you’ll find directly transferable business insight outside your area of immediate experience.
Network
The coffee and lunch breaks are a great opportunity to meet fellow delegates and discuss the highlights of the day.
Pretty much the whole of the retail sector is represented – key partners such as property and technology groups as well as retailers.
At the end of day one there is a drinks and canapés reception which will be the perfect occasion to mingle with your peers and compare notes over a glass of wine.
Take the benefits back to work
The conference only lasts two days but the benefits last much longer.
Don’t forget to take away your delegate pack. Delegates will also be able to view highlights of the presentations online after the event so you can watch again what you find most inspiring or insightful.
The Cloud
The Cloud, a BSkyB company, is one of the UK’s leading providers of WiFi to retailers. As headline sponsors of The Cloud Retail Week Conference 2012, technology is high on the agenda. The Cloud will be showcasing how WiFi is changing the retail landscape; from the way people shop to the experience provided in-store. Come and visit us at the event to find out what’s on the horizon for the high street in 2012 and see what WiFi can do for your business.
Meet the Retail Week team
If you’ve spoken to our team but not met in person, there will be plenty of opportunity to put faces to names. Our team will be chairing sessions and be mixing with delegates during the breaks. It’s a chance for you to let us know how we can most effectively cater for your retail needs in the magazine and online. Come and say hello.
