The topic for 2027 is relevance

Amid the current AI boom, companies are increasingly turning their attention inward, striving to become as efficient as possible. AI is helping them achieve this – but at the same time, it can also filter the way we perceive reality.

That makes it all the more important to remember who we are doing all of this for. Do you know what your customers are dealing with right now? Are your products and services still relevant to them?

How can businesses stay relevant to both customers and business partners while remaining profitable? This is the key question Retail Summit 2027 will explore.

Top meeting you can't miss

Attend a meeting of key players on the Central European business market. Gain new information, inspiration and energy for the further development of your business. Make new contacts and strengthen existing ones.

This year's main program is moderated by Karel „Kovy‟ Kovář.

    We take part in the Retail Summit every year and it is still better and better, I must say. Actually this year was one of the best Retail Summits ever. It is a unique place to meet people from retail, technologies, supply chain, manufacturers … and sharing our opinions is the best about it.

    I consider my presentation in the main program at Retail Summit 2019 in front of about 800 people to be a turning point in my life. Until then I was only a "hardworker", since then I have been a "networker" thanks to the Retail Summit and I practically haven't stopped
