From bartering stone axes to distributed exchange of digital artefacts: retail has been with us for as long as we can remember.
As the digital economy dawns on us, we need to reconsider our traditional understanding of retail. Retailers are racing to create competitive advantage. Customer centricity, real-time delivery, highly personalised offers, self-selling stores… Retail as we know is about to change dramatically. A great opportunity for those who prepare for it!
Join us, and like-minded individuals, as we explore the notion of Retail 5.0. What is it, what will it bring, how will it impact us and how can we harness the vast opportunities? Importantly, what other industries can learn from the evolution of retail?
Just like with every event of the PwC Chair in Digital Economy, you can expect to be inspired, take home ideas you can try out immediately, and expand your network among hundreds of other digital economy leaders.
