The largest retail conference in CEE - Retail Summit publishes the topic of the upcoming 21st year that will take place in Clarion Congress Hotel in Prague on February 3 - 4, 2015.
It will concentrate on „Searching for New Paths“ in all aspects of retail business.
"We love finding new paths....." That was a clear explanation of the phenomenal success of Kofola given by its leader Jannis Samaras at this 20th year of the Retail Summit. His words inspired not only 1, 027 participants of the largest Central-European retail conference, but even its organizers. Therefore they decided to focus the next year of the Summit namely on the search for new paths to sustainable successful retail business on the Czech and Central European market.
The timeliness of this topic is undisputed even in the conditions of slowly recovering market. There is no doubt that, despite a certain growth in consumer demand we cannot expect return of the "fat" years from the period before the great economic crisis. The market is highly saturated and its players are constantly confronted with not only well established competition of retail chains, but also with a wide range on new challengers – starting from farm shops to still more sophisticated Internet retailers. The old recipes that celebrated success in the past, cease to function. The search for new paths, and the total daily innovation of all aspects of retail business are becoming a necessary condition for keeping pace with the market.
The Czech Confederation of Commerce and Tourism, University of Economics in Prague and Blue Events as organizers of the Retail Summit 2015 will encourage the search for new paths in a number of directions. They are preparing a program that will feature more than 100 speakers and panellists from home and abroad. The two-day traditional format of the Summit will take place in the days of February 3 and 4, 2015 at the Clarion Congress Hotel Prague.
Details of the program will be soon published on the website www.retail21.cz/en, where it is also possible to register to participation. The delegates, who make payment till November 30, 2014, take the advantage of the significantly favourable conditions for "Very Early Birds.

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?
