Poland & CEE Retail Summit: Where the Industry’s Leaders Connect

More People. More Decision-Makers. More Opportunities.

"Join us in making the Retail Summit 2025 a truly exceptional experience and let's work together to drive positive change in the industry!"

Four reasons why!

1. Built with Industry Leaders: Quality You Can Trust
The Poland & CEE Retail Summit is co-created with the expertise of 280+ Advisory Committee members—senior leaders from retail, FMCG, and solution providers. Their input ensures that every session addresses the most pressing challenges and opportunities shaping boardroom agendas today.

Result: The content is always relevant, strategic, and actionable, attracting the right people who drive real decisions in their organizations.

2. Synergy Across 14 Stages: One Event, Endless Opportunities
Standalone niche events often struggle with small, fragmented audiences or low engagement in key sessions. At the Poland & CEE Retail Summit, the unique synergy across 14 interconnected stages brings together diverse yet relevant audiences under one roof.
For example, an eCommerce logistics discussion here attracts both eCommerce and supply chain leaders—plus senior decision-makers with cross-functional roles. This is just one of many examples of how the Summit bridges topics and breaks silos.

Result: Sessions are packed with engaged, relevant participants, ensuring your message resonates with decision-makers who matter.

3. Hard-to-Reach Decision-Makers Choose This Event
Decision-makers can’t attend every event—but they prioritize this one. Why? Because the Summit delivers relevant insights and connections tailored to their needs. With 65% of attendees being Directors or C-Level executives, leaders from retail and FMCG gather to explore solutions that address their most critical priorities.
Unlike niche events where audiences are limited and scattered, here decision-makers choose exactly what’s relevant to them—whether it’s boardroom-level strategies, eCommerce innovation, sustainability leadership, or operational excellence.

Result: You engage with top decision-makers who are focused, influential, and ready to act.

4. A Legacy of Trust and Success
With a 16-year history and over 3,000 participants in 2024, the Poland & CEE Retail Summit is a proven, must-attend platform for retail and FMCG leaders. It’s not just another event; it’s where the entire industry converges to connect, learn, and drive progress.
