PMC announced as headline sponsor of the 2023 RTIH Innovation Awards, winners to be announced in November

The RTIH Innovation Awards are back for 2023, and we’re delighted to announce that PMC will once again be the headline sponsor.

The event recognises and celebrates retailers and vendors at the forefront of technology innovation.

Spread over 19 different categories, including two brand new categories for 2023, submissions are judged on the extent of innovation and transformation demonstrated, as well as the sustainability of the results.

Previous year’s winners have included B&Q, Pets at Home and Walmart.

The awards culminate in a fantastic ceremony, complete with a drinks reception and three-course meal at the Barbican arts centre in London on Wednesday 29th November.

A key event highlight is an exclusive pre-awards roundtable discussion, enabling retailers, tech suppliers and advisors to come together and talk about current retail challenges and opportunities.

Simon Curtis, Chief Commercial Officer at PMC, says: “We have been proud sponsors of the RTIH Innovation Awards since their inception, and I am pleased to see them grow year-on-year, mirroring the incredible growth and innovation we continue to see across the retail industry.”

“I wish all the entrants the best of luck and look forward to seeing the winners announced in November.”

RTIH Editor and Founder, Scott Thompson, says: “Innovation and technology play a critical role in the success of the retail sector, so it is great to recognise standout examples through our awards, which continue to go from strength to strength.”

“I’m excited to launch the fifth edition of the awards in conjunction with PMC. The 2023 event will be the biggest and best yet.”
