ABOUT THE SUMMIT

Newsweek România, one of the most widely read publications in the country, organizes Retail Summit 2024, 3rd edition, on March 14, 2024, starting at 16:00. Through interactive debates, case studies and exchanges of ideas, Retail Summit 2024 aims to provide participants with a broad perspective on current and future trends in the retail industry, encouraging collaboration and innovation for a sustainable and progressive future.

Retailers face significant challenges in achieving and maintaining competitive market share. Learn how they can more easily reach consumers through innovative and adaptable strategies. We’ll discuss how retailers are working with suppliers and brand partners to

 meet ESG goals, as well as what investments are expected to dominate the retail landscape in 2024. 

Together with our guests we will find out how consumer preferences change during promotional periods and what strategies are effective to attract and retain customers? 
Very recently we have a new rule for the return of certain packaging, for which retailers must retain a guarantee. We will look at the current state of implementation of the SGR project and what obstacles are currently encountered for the collection and storage of packaging. What reporting is required and how retailers can better comply with regulations, how receptive industry players have been to signing up to the programme and using SGR platforms, what 

services and support Returo offers retailers to  effectively manage their packaging and waste stream, learn more in the second part of the event.

The public will be limited to 20 seats. 
To participate in the room please register by email office@newsweek.ro, and will be confirmed by a message from the organiser. 

The event will be streamed live on newsweek.ro (Top 10 most read News and Analysis website in the SATI ranking, with a traffic of over 3,1 million unique readers per month) and on the Newsweek Romania Facebook page (67.000 followers and a monthly impact of 7.5 million posts).
