With a focus on  design, technology and experiential activations and sponsored by NewStore, this will be curated and hosted by retail influencer, Ian Scott.

This will also take place on 23rd April.  Retailers can join their peers, in-store experience and technology experts, brands and agencies at this full day event focused entirely on what's widely considered the most important channel in the white hot retail media network ecosystem  - the physical store.  

New for 2024, RTS will be partnering with e-commerce event and networking specialists, Commerce Futures, who will curate its ‘e-commerce excellence and omnichannel’ conference stream, dedicated to digital best practice. 

The partnership will also see RTS and Commerce Futures host a private retailer dinner on day one of the show ,where brands and retail leaders can share learnings under Chatham House rules. To sign up, retailers can register by contacting: chloe.webber@buyingtime.co.uk.

Matt Bradley, Event Director at Retail Technology Show, comments: “Retailers and brands will already know the RTS as a key industry platform for making the connections that matter – from the 400+ tech innovators we showcase on the exhibition floor to our all-star line-up of speakers on our conference programme.”

“This year, we wanted to go further and offer even more opportunities for our visitors to connect with their peers, experience first hand retail best practice and game-changing innovations, which is why we’re excited to deliver our new programme of special events.”

Our winners were revealed during an event which took place at the Barbican Centre in central London and included a drinks reception in the stunning Conservatory, followed by a Christmas themed three course meal, and awards presentation in the Garden Room.

The latest edition of the RTIH Top 100 Retail Technology Influencers List, sponsored by 3D Cloud by Marxent, will make its debut in the magazine. We will be bringing you the people who made a splash in 2023 and are set for a barnstorming 2024.

And last but certainly not least, we’re pleased to announce the launch of our second Retail Technology Innovations Report, also sponsored by 3D Cloud by Marxent, which provides 3D product visualisation software trusted by top furniture and DIY retailers.

This highlights the top 50 retail tech plays of the past 12 months as decided by our Editor, Scott Thompson, and an independent advisory panel.

We were looking for groundbreaking technology deployments, launches, and pilots from across the omnichannel retail landscape, be they payments, supply chain, online, mobile, physical store etc related.

Innovation and technology play a critical role in the success of the retail sector, and it is great to celebrate this with our report.
