About the event
Retailers across EMEA have always adapted to shifting consumer trends and buying behaviours. However, the recent global pandemic created disruption of an unprecedented scale; demanding rapid innovation to continue serving customers, delivering goods and services while remaining accessible to customers.
As we look towards a future normal, many of the leaps of transformation achieved in the heat of adaptation need to continue. Consumers are returning to spend with fresh appetite. The industry underlying challenges will re-surface. New start-up companies are emerging to exploit their technology and online advantage.
We invite you watch on-demand AWS and industry leaders for a review of what is possible, hear from your peers on their innovations and ideas, and learn about the role of technology in enabling your future opportunity.
