Retail is changing and it's changing fast! With new entrants into Africa's retail and e-commerce markets, retailers are losing customers to new, niche players in the industry. Are you feeling the loss?
Retail World Africa, featuring the e-Commerce Show Africa, is here to guide you to new heights. The event, which forms part of Africa's largest payments and retail show, will be hosted at the Sandton Convention Centre and will take place on 1-2 March 2016.
We have extended the event to provide you with two full-day pre-event workshops to cater to your needs. Furthermore, we have kept the concept of the separate streams for more focused insights into what's going on in the brick-and-mortar and online retail spaces.
Retail World Africa is not your average conference. We've brought together the greatest minds in the retail industry from across Africa to give you a more holistic outlook on the continent's retail sector and where the space is headed. What does this mean for you? Well, you'll find out more about what your counterparts are doing in their respective regions and how it will affect you.
Our conference promises disruptive content and perplex topics that will have you at the edge of your seat, thinking about the future of your business.
