Retail Business Technology Expo and Cards & Payments Solutions – the fastest growing retail event in Europe

Retail Business Technology Expo and Cards & Payments Solutions doubled in size for its 2012 event.  With over 200 exhibiting technology solution providers including many leading global companies as well as an extensive educational programme of seminars, many featuring European and global content, keynotes and panel discussions and a full networking schedule, visitors from across Europe flocked to the must attend event for the retail industry.

There is a strong demand for an event of this nature from European retailers, as there are no similar events within Europe where European retailers can get an overview of the international retail landscape. With retailers having to look to overseas territories to grow their market share, and internationalisation on most major retailers’ agendas, it is business critical that there is a central and accessible annual event where the retail community can come and see all the latest innovations and meet face to face with the largest gathering of retail solution providers in Europe, and Retail Business Technology Expo 2012 certainly delivered on all these levels.

The UK and Europe – the most influential and important retail market in the world – now has a  fully tested and proven solutions exhibition.

WHY YOU NEED TO VISIT
With the growing importance of internationalisation, the event offers the perfect opportunity to see all the latest innovations and meet face to face with the largest gathering of retail solution providers in Europe.  

The educational programme will feature over 100 seminars, workshops, panel debates, Q&A’s and conference sessions covering ALL the topics and business areas that will help retailers to equip their business to compete in such a challenge market.  The programme is independent and features many leading retail and hospitality organisations – ALL FREE OF CHARGE and is set to feature even more content for 2013.

WHO SHOULD VISIT
This is a must visit event for European retail, hospitality, leisure operators and etailers who want to keep up to date with all the latest solutions as well as take advantage of the strategic and tactical  advice that will be available to help them.  Retail Business Technology Expo and Cards & Payments Solutions is relevant to the IT, operations, multichannel, marketing, supply chain, eCommerce, logistics, loss prevention and finance department heads.
