that time of year when brands, partners, and industry pros dust off their best pitch decks, polish their networking game, and pretend they aren’t running purely on caffeine. ☕😅 From trade shows and product launches to partner summits and retail expos, every event promises innovation, connections, and an overwhelming amount of branded tote bags. But what really makes a retail industry event worth attending? 🎤 Engaging speakers? (Not just the ones reading off slides) 🤝 Genuine networking? (No more “let’s circle back” emails that never happen) 🚀 Game-changing innovations? (Or just another buzzword bingo session?) And, of course, what drives us mad about these events? ❌ Panels that feel like a corporate therapy session ❌ Over-the-top booths that somehow say everything and nothing ❌ Running into someone for the 5th time and still forgetting their name 😬 So, what’s your favourite retail industry event and why? Which one actually delivers value and which one is just an excuse for a free drinks reception? I'm keen to hear from friends and partners in the coming months what could be done better. Let’s hear your thoughts! 👇 <a class="link" href="https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Fretailevents&trk=public_post-text"

The biggest Retail Exhibition in the world is just around the corner—or perhaps not quite so close, given that it’s all the way to New York! But let’s face it: when an event sets global benchmarks and defines the trends for the year ahead, it’s a trip you simply can’t miss. And to be honest—New York is always worth the journey, especially when it’s buzzing with the energy of Retail innovation. 🛫 So, this weekend, I’m heading to the NRF—an event I’ve attended for years and would never miss. But this year, there’s something even more exciting on the horizon... 🤩 The real highlight for me is happening the day before the Retail Federation kicks off: "What’s In Store for Retail Media Networks" on Saturday, January 11th. This isn’t just another conference; it’s the gathering for global innovators redefining in-store retail media and I am very proud to be a part of it. We launched this series last year with incredible success, hosting satellite events worldwide, including at DMEXCO. This time, we’re bringing together top names in the industry to explore trends and strategies that will shape the future of Retail Media Networks. 🚀 With an incredible lineup of speakers including Patricia Grundmann (OBI), Robert Jozic (Schwarz Group), Omer Gajial (Albertsons Companies), Quentin George (McKinsey), Christian Raveaux (REWE Group), Alicia Esposito (Retail TouchPoints), and Michael Krans (Macy’s), this event is set to deliver invaluable insights and drive the conversation around Retail Media innovation. I’m both excited and a little nervous (who can relate?)—New York, here I come! P.S. The picture doesn’t quite match—it was taken at DMEXCO in Cologne last year, another incredible event, though it feels like ages ago now. I’ll be sharing fresh snapshots from New York soon and will keep you all updated! <a class="link"

exhibitors alike. Why? Because it creates a filtering mechanism for who really wants to be there. It cuts down on the noise to signal ratio. This is our 2nd <a class="link" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-association-of-chain-drug-stores-nacds-?trk=public_post-text" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="public_post-text" data-tracking-will-navigate>National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS)</a> Annual Meeting... It’s held at The Breakers in Palm Beach, which is one of the nicest hotels in the world. It’s $6k per ticket. $14k for a meeting table. And it and its related events run from Friday morning to Wednesday evening—straight through the weekend. Add in flights/hotels/food for multiple people, plus some trade advertising, and an emerging brand can easily spend $50k to be here. Of course, the big brands/companies spend way more than that. Last year, the first time we attended NACDS Annual, we almost backed out right before the event because I believed “there’s no way we were going to get an ROI on such a big expense for a show that doesn’t even have many merchants.” In hindsight I’m sure glad we didn’t chicken out… NACDS does such a good job pulling the leaders of the industry together that by the end of the first day of Annual we already made our money back by orders of magnitude through unlocked distribution. Alcohol-related health & wellness is a new category. Some merchants are afraid of what their bosses might think if they bring our product in. But we have found that if we get their bosses excited about Cheers, and then they bring it back as an idea that the merchant might consider, then our odds of getting in that chain go way up because the merchant has the blessing. It’s still the merchant’s decision, but now they aren’t worried about any potential internal stigma when making that determination. For us, NACDS Annual = unlock the distribution for the category/brand with retailer executives. And then NACDS TSE = present the brand/items to merchants and make it happen. Both Annual and TSE work together for an emerging brand to work with retail leaders to build out a novel category in their store. Because of NACDS we’ve gone from 0 to 11,000 stores in 2 years. And now we’re exploring Mass & Club. My only regret when it comes to NACDS is that we didn’t join earlier! Of course, while we joined mostly for retail distribution, the supplier-to-supplier networking alone makes it worth it. I feel like we’re playing a game of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” with Regis Philbin… except rather than one phone-a-friend per game, now we have multiple phone-a-friends per question!</p>  </div>
