Retail Technology Show speaker Steven Bartlett backs Homes for Ukraine scheme
Dragon’s Den investor and Social Chain CEO, Steven Bartlett, has signed up for the UK Homes for Ukraine scheme.
This enables individuals, charities, community groups and businesses to volunteer accommodation and provide a route to safety for Ukrainians, and their immediate family members, forced to escape their homeland as a result of the Russian invasion.
“I have a spare room at my home here in London so I’ve signed up to offer it to a Ukrainian family,” Bartlett tweeted today.
He added: “The £350 monthly fee for housing a refugee family will be donated to The Disasters Emergency Committee who Deborah Meaden (also a Dragon’s Den investor) recommended for their ongoing work in Ukraine.”
We salute you, sir!
Retail Technology Show
Bartlett was recently confirmed as a keynote speaker at Retail Technology Show.
Taking place at London’s Olympia on 26th-27th April, Retail Technology Show will feature six key tracks that tackle the most pressing issues and industry trends.
Three feature stages will cover various aspects of retailers’ operations, showcasing best practice inspiration as well as practical hacks and advice, uncovering new shopper trends, and a look ahead to the innovation driving change at pace and scale within the industry.
Bartlett will join Andrew Busby, Founder and CEO at Retail Reflections, on the Headline Stage for his keynote session.
The fireside chat will look to demystify the metaverse, and explore how this new frontier, and the growing trend for NFTs, will change the retail landscape and redefine consumer behaviour.
Matt Bradley, Event Director at the Retail Technology Show, comments: “Retail Technology Show is all about reuniting retail and helping retailers unlock the innovations that will power future business performance.”
“We’re not just talking next-generation tech, we’re talking the next dimension of retailing - and that means bringing the brightest minds covering the hottest topics, with an event format that makes those disruptive discussions accessible to the entire industry.”
