Dear Colleague,
The World Retail Congress Latin America is totally new and unique: a dedicated C-Level strategic retail conference specifically designed to address the Latin American market. Given the rising prosperity and economic growth of this region, it is essential to examine the emerging industry trends, challenges and growth opportunities.
Providing global retail intelligence, over 50 leading international and regional retailers, global brands and industry commentators will together take to the stage for the first time. Leaders from Spar International, NetShoes, Mango, Walmart Brasil, Grupo Pão de Açúcar and Procter & Gamble will discuss challenges, share best practice and provide strategic business insights for you to adapt for your business.
The industry driven agenda is specifically engineered to attract leading interational retailers, as well as the most dynamic and innovative regional retail leaders across Latin America. With specific attention on core markets such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia. This will equip retailers with the information needed to keep up with the pace of change and seize the available opportunities. Alongside this, the congress offers hours of dedicated networking where you can arrange face-to-face meetings and establish lasting business partnerships with Latin America’s retail elite.
This essential date in the retail calendar will give your business the competitive advantage in this exciting and profitable region.
We look forward to welcoming you to Sao Paulo in October.
