The Future of The High Street 2025
The past year has had a dramatic impact on the future physical retail landscape.
Many consumers today will shop across both the digital realm and the High Street – they have an expectation that those two channels are connected and in sync.
The physical store is undergoing a reincarnation. Another reason why many retailers are embracing in-store media – to stay relevant and competitive – in a rapidly evolving market.
We bring together a highly experienced line-up of speakers who will discuss the challenges that lie ahead for the UK’s High Street and out of town shopping and leisure.
This engaging event will explore the future of retail considering online vs bricks and mortar, how both small and large retailers can compete in a competitive space, provenance and addressing the consumer experience.
