Each year, World Retail Congress is shaped by a world-class Advisory Board made up of senior leaders from across the retail landscape. Their insight ensures our programme tackles the most urgent challenges and opportunities facing the industry.

The 2025 Board brings together an exceptional group with proven track records in building high-growth businesses and leading top-performing teams.

You’ll have the chance to connect with these influential voices in person at the Congress in London. With their guidance, our agenda is more relevant, forward-looking and impactful than ever.
