Supermarket titans Allan Leighton and Rami Baitiéh will be taking to the stage for Retail Week x The Grocer LIVE, a one-day event showcasing what’s next for the retail and grocery industry.  

Announced today, and taking place on Tuesday 3 March at London’s Business Design Centre, the full programme showcases the latest developments across technology, digital and customer innovation, in addition to live interviews with the Asda and Morrisons bosses. 

The event offers retail and grocery leaders the opportunity to come together and debate industry challenges, discover solutions and make connections, helping to future-proof not only individual retail businesses but the industry as a whole. 

In addition to a keynote session from Leighton and a fireside chat with Baitiéh, other talks lined up for the event include a focus on cyber-resilience and mitigating risk from GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre, as well as speakers from YouGov, Holland & Barrett and the Co-op.

Offering a bold vision of what’s in store for the sector, attendees will be able to explore the future of retail through the lenses of innovation and transformation, helping retailers anticipate and adapt to emerging trends including tech disruption, shifting consumer behaviour and changing global economics.

With a programme carefully curated to cover every aspect of retail and grocery innovation, next year’s event will also feature a series of interactive workshops featuring real-world case studies.
