The Retail Summit, the largest meeting of retailers and suppliers of goods and services for the Czech and Slovak retail markets, is entering its 25th anniversary. It will take place from 4 to 6 February 2019 at the Clarion Congress Hotel in Prague.
Since the first Retail Summit, the Czech and Slovak retail markets have changed fundamentally. After the initial struggle for good locations, gradually the markets managed to get to the state where the focus on turnover is replaced by the focus on profit. And this is increasingly being achieved only with a perfect understanding customers and the delivery of the value they expect. The battle of retailers and manufacturers is shifting to the field of customer experience. In a plethora of similar goods and services, it's just a "customer experience" that decides whether the customer returns to the brand or the merchant and whether in the best case, he or she recommends it further.
Therefore, it is logical that the topic of the Retail Summit 2019 will be an intensive discussion on how to turn negative or neutral customer experience into a strong positive experience.
We will open our registration at the Retail Summit 2019 as usual at the beginning of September ( September 3, 2018 at 7am). But save the date and mark your calendar now, you cannot missed the event. And let us know if you have ideas about the Retail Summit Program 2019. We are currently working on it and finalizing negotiations with key partners.

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?
