Retail Networking Made Easier

You Know Why You Need To Network: ?The retail industry is a fast-paced, complex world. It’s easy to feel isolated in your role, surrounded by challenges and opportunities.? So networking with peers is a great way to share and learn from each other - but who really enjoys networking?? Attending conferences etc. is great, and if you are bold enough to introduce yourself to strangers, you still have to "find" the right person to talk to - we've all found ourselves talking to a stranger at an event, politely waiting to find a way out of the conversation as we are unlikely to connect with that person.

That's why I began hosting my own, more intimate, networking dinners for retailers.?

I wanted to create a space where retail executives could connect on a deeper level, away from the noise of large conferences or superficial events.? Free to attend, these dinners are designed to foster meaningful conversations, allowing guests to share their experiences, challenges, and successes in a relaxed and confidential setting.

Why it Works:

• Targeted discussions: Each dinner focuses on a specific retail topic, ensuring you're connecting with people who share your interests.?
• Guided conversations: Our format encourages open dialogue and shared insights.
• Natural connections: As you engage in discussions, you'll naturally identify the people you want to connect with further.

*Numbers are strictly limited to between 10 & 15 people to ensure we all have an opportunity to speak.

Benefits of joining us:

• Meaningful Networking!? Build lasting connections with peers.
• In-depth knowledge: Learn from experts in your field.
• Inspiration: Gain new perspectives and ideas.

Of course, I also benefit from building valuable connections with retailers who share valuable experience and insights into my own focus areas. These relationships have led to new opportunities and a deeper understanding of the industry.

So, if you're a retail executive looking to connect with your peers, learn from others, and share your insights, why not join my next event in January 2025 when we will be considering the impact of pricing, promotions and markdown on your brand and margins? Perhaps you would be interested in nominating/chairing a topic at a future event? Message me or comment below and I will be in touch!
