Connecting Hearts & Minds - Solution Providers HUB

Welcome to the Poland & CEE Retail Summit “Solution Providers HUB”

From Summit Insights to Market Breakthroughs: Elevating Retail & Consumer Goods Innovations!

Our Vision
We’re not just about conferences. We envision catalyzing transformative journeys that reach far beyond the conference halls. The Poland & CEE Retail Summit Solution Providers HUB was birthed from the belief that what happens post-conference is as pivotal, if not more so, than what transpires during it.

Role of Solution Providers
Solution Providers don’t just attend – they shape, drive, and fortify our events. Your insights are invaluable, helping steer discussions and ensuring managers walk away not just inspired, but equipped with actionable solutions.

How the HUB Works?

Deeper Dive into Our Unique Approach

Our Solution Providers HUB is designed to be an immersive experience, ensuring that both the content and discussions during the conference have a lasting impact. Let's explore in more detail the intricacies of how it functions:

1. Pre-Conference Collaborative Planning
Solution Providers Week Dinners: In line with the idealistic vision of the European Circular Retail Foundation, these dinners are offered at no cost, providing an exclusive platform for Solution Providers to come together in an intimate setting. To stimulate the conversation, each dinner features a panel discussion delivered by representatives from the Retail & Consumer Goods sector. The objective of these dinners and panels is to cultivate discussions around the upcoming conference, delve into industry trends, and explore potential solutions.

Idea Submission: Following the dinners, Solution Providers are actively invited to put forth their ideas, solutions, and concepts that they feel warrant attention during the conference. This spans a spectrum of topics, from pressing industry challenges to cutting-edge technologies or pioneering methods. Additionally, Solution Providers can also recommend potential panelists, offering a broader perspective and ensuring diverse voices are represented in the conference discussions.

Advisory Committee Review: The advisory committees, made up of knowledgeable representatives from the Retail and Consumer Goods industry, will thoughtfully review each submission. Their collective expertise ensures that all ideas receive due attention, and valuable insights are incorporated into the conference panel discussions. To learn more about the members of the advisory committee, you can review our Agenda tab

Panel Integration: After the comprehensive reviews by the advisory committee, ideas and solutions that stand out will find their way into the conference's core discussions.
Shaping Discussions: Some of these ideas might become the central theme for a panel discussion, ensuring that pressing and relevant topics are brought to the forefront.
Inspiring New Topics: The dynamic nature of the retail and consumer goods industry means that innovation is constant. As such, fresh and impactful ideas from the submissions could give birth to entirely new topics or sessions during the conference.

Suggesting Panelists: Not only do topics matter, but the voices behind them are equally significant. During the Idea Submission phase, Solution Providers may present potential panelists. The advisory committee, recognizing the value and expertise of these suggested individuals, might endorse these proponents or associated experts to serve as speakers or panelists. By doing so, firsthand insights and authentic perspectives are brought to the audience, greatly enhancing the depth and richness of the conference discourse.

Beneath this section, the related tools and solutions, as described by the Solution Providers, will be systematically listed.

Detailed Information Access:
With the Solution Providers HUB, your solutions won't just be another name in the crowd. Based on the rich details you submit, attendees receive an engaging snapshot that piques their interest.

Direct Connect: Moving from exploration to action becomes a seamless endeavor. With provided contact details, attendees can directly connect with Solution Providers, opening doors for collaborations, further discussions, or even real-world implementations.

4. Continuous Feedback and Engagement Loop
Notification to Panel Attendees: To ensure that the conference momentum continues, attendees of specific panels will be informed of solutions directly related to the discussions. This bridges the event experience with actionable post-event engagement.

Feedback Channels: Attendees have the power to share their feedback. This immediate feedback is invaluable to Solution Providers, helping them refine their tools and gain insights for optimizing their participation in subsequent events.

"Building on our legacy, the Solution Providers HUB is yet another step in our commitment to evolve the Poland & CEE Retail Summit. Rather than being a standalone event, we've always envisioned the Summit as a continuous journey of exploration, understanding, and transformation. This enhancement ensures we remain at the forefront, offering unparalleled value to our attendees and partners."
