Jack Stratten, Head of Trends at the show’s trend partner Inside Retail will guide the tour of retail experiences which will take place on Monday 15th July, showcasing the best of London retail.
Explore London’s Top Retail Innovations
The winning entrants will explore a variety of London stores to observe the latest innovations in design and technology. This unique experience aims to provide valuable insights and inspiration to apply to their own strategies and operations. A complimentary dinner at Selfridges will follow the tour.
Guided by an Expert in Retail Trends
Stratten, an expert in identifying and analyzing emerging trends in the retail sector, and he often leads retail safaris to showcase cutting-edge retail concepts and experiences. He is a regular speaker at Source Fashion, specialises in retail innovation and future trends, is known for his insightful commentary and ability to help businesses understand and adapt to the rapidly evolving retail landscape.
Stratten says, “We’ll be going to a diverse range of some of London’s most remarkable retail stores, and in doing so we will create a picture of how the future of physical retail might look. From global flagships to quirky boutiques across Soho and the West End, our tour will examine the changing role of stores – from marketing and storytelling to rich experiences and problem-solving. In a world of growing digital influence, stores have to do more than just sell – and London offers a fascinating glimpse into what’s coming next. And as ever, our experience and network ensure we get a glimpse behind the scenes of retail too.”
