Retail Business Technology Expo promises to meet demand for hands-on exhibition, education and networking event
Retail Business Technology Expo is a brand new event focusing on business solutions and technology for the retail industry, from Legend Exhibitions, the exhibitions company behind the Publishing Expo.
In response to proven demand from both retailers and vendors, Retail Business Technology Expo will combine an exhibition offering a comprehensive range of solutions with a free informative and interactive education programme incorporating seminars, workshops, and inspirational features plus a host of networking opportunities and hospitality – all under one roof.
Retail Business Technology Expo will take place from 16 to 17 March 2011 at London’s Earls Court.
Close interaction with key industry figures
The organisers said they have spent months working closely with many key industry figures to create the right concept for the industry and will continue to develop the event through an advisory panel, which will ensure it creates an event which is relevant for everyone.
Paul Forester, IT director from Monsoon Accessorize is part of the advisory panel and commented: “This exciting new exhibition is exactly what this industry needs! Having an event that shows the full spectrum of products and business solutions from all types of technology suppliers – from ecommerce to supply chain, back office systems, epos and beyond – will be an invaluable addition to our sources of information. After meeting with them, I’m convinced that the team at Legend Exhibitions are the ones to deliver it.”
Retail Business Technology Expo will be free to attend and is being planned specifically for all members of the team responsible for taking or influencing purchasing decisions for technology. This will not only include IT directors and staff but management across the business including operations, business development, finance, marketing, security and other roles for whom technology is crucial. Large and independent retailers from all areas of the UK and overseas will be invited from the whole spectrum of retail from fashion, health and beauty and homewares through to garden centres, electrical goods, supermarkets and restaurants, pubs and bars.
Latest technology products on show
The organisers added that the event will provide a showcase of the latest technology solutions with exhibitors demonstrating the latest ideas, products and services to enable retailers to compete effectively in their markets. It will include suppliers offering every type of technology from alarms, security, ID systems through to payment, epos, communication systems plus everything in between including the latest interactive consumer technology.
Retail Business Technology Expo is organised by Legend Exhibitions, which said it has many years of experience delivering exhibitions relevant for their industries and are particularly skilled at working with all the industry to deliver the right concepts. John Bednall, Legend’s managing director also runs a company in Hong Kong where he was pivotal to the successful launch of Retail Asia Expo in 2009.
