Retail leaders gathered at a time of constant change, navigating challenges ranging from AI and digital transformation to shifting consumer behaviour and supply-chain pressures. Throughout the Congress, they explored the strategies needed to deliver sustainable, scalable and profitable growth in an evolving retail landscape.
In 2026, World Retail Congress was hosted in Berlin, Europe’s retail innovation capital, bringing together CEOs and senior retail executives from around the world to address today’s challenges and shape forward-looking strategies for the future of global retail.
Over three days, the programme delivered insights from global CEOs, C-suite decision-makers and leading international brands, equipping delegates with strategic foresight and practical tools to drive growth through to 2030.
