The Jubilee 20th Year of the Retail Summit has already registered nearly 600 participants.
The varied composition of those registered - both suppliers of goods and services, as well as retailers - is promising interesting discussions. Among the delegates there are representatives of almost all companies from the TOP 10 retailers in the Czech market, namely Kaufland, Tesco, Ahold, Makro, Penny Market, Globus, Billa, Spar and also several dozens of Czech and Slovak COOPs.
The main motto of this Jubilee year is a question "How to succeed in uncertain times?" We are living in the turbulent, volatile times in which we can state with a certain exaggeration that the only thing that is sure (except death and taxes) is just uncertainty. Uncertainty often stems from a misunderstanding. Only those can succeed in businesses that are prepared to navigate in the changing environment, to perceive signals of a new era, to understand and use them to develop new solutions.
The ambition of the organizers of the Retail Summit 2014 was to focus the two-day Summit on searching the paths, how to succeed in times that are not just simple and stable. The fact that these themes resonate with the Czech retail market players is proved by more than 600 suppliers and retailers registered one month prior to the event. Among the delegates there are representatives of almost all companies from the TOP 10 retailers in the Czech market, namely Kaufland, Tesco, Ahold, Makro, Penny Market, Globus, Billa and Spar, and also members od COOP.
In addition, there are also senior managers and owners of other food and non-food retail chains, online retailers or specialised convenience stores, such as Bauhaus, C&A, CBA, Datart International, dm drogeriemarkt, Enapo, Hruška, Hornbach, HP TRONIC, IKEA, Internet Mall, JIP Východočeská, KIK Textil, KIKA Nábytek, Le Premier, MARKLAND Kotva, Metspa, MyFoodMarket, Náš grunt, Netretail Holding, OBI, Rosa Market, Rossmann, SPORTISIMO, Sklizeno, TETA, UNI Hobby, Zoot and many others.
Registration for the Summit is still possible; however, some sections are already highly populated. The high interest in the Retail Summit also contributes to the effective cooperation with many partners, the biggest Platinum ones being ČSOB, O2 and Pilsner Urquell.

Prague, 21 September 2027 – Artificial intelligence in companies is moving beyond individual pilots and chatbots toward tools that are becoming part of data work, decision-making, and routine business processes. This brings a new set of questions: what data should AI be built on, how should its real value be measured, where can its outputs be trusted, and what does its rise mean for the work of analysts and data teams? These are precisely the topics that the 13th annual Primetime for Big Data conference will address on 26 November at the National Library of Technology in Prague.
Prague, 16 September 2026 - How do you win over customers who have more choice than ever before? One of the strongest themes to emerge at the Retail in Detail: Happy Shopper conference was simplicity. Customers no longer pay only with money when they shop. They also pay with their time, attention, decision-making and uncertainty. Retailers that can consistently reduce this “mental cost” have a better chance of becoming their customers’ first choice.
For the twelfth year, professionals from procurement, supply chain, and financial management will come together for the annual Procurement Forum conference. The event will take place on 4 November at KC City in Prague.
Prague, 13 May 2026 – How can businesses succeed in a world of growing geopolitical uncertainty, rapid technological change and an evolving labour market?

The conference featured leading economists, entrepreneurs and business leaders who shared their perspectives on the economic outlook, artificial intelligence, automation, leadership and the evolving role of the CFO.
