Each session tackles a specific challenge the retail and hospitality workforce sector is facing in 2026. Strategies from the brands in the room, presented by the people implementing them.
What actually makes frontline workers choose you, stay with you, and show up engaged? Drawing on labour market data and real employee feedback, we will be covering the levers that genuinely move the needle on attraction, retention and performance across retail and hospitality.
Senior retail and hospitality leaders explore how AI is reshaping the way their organisations operate, from workforce strategy and employee experience through to efficiency, customer value and business impact.
Tighter margins and rising costs are forcing operators to rethink how their businesses run. We will be covering how organisations are building leaner models without compromising on customer experience or team engagement.
