Our Retail Fest Hosted also puts you in the same space as a huge number of experts and can be the first point of contact for long-lasting relationships that’ll take your business to the next level.
Every year, we’re proud to host a diverse bunch of mentors, industry experts and leaders who will cover a number of topics. They’ll give you the knowledge and know-how you need with actionable tips and inspiration. You’ll have ample opportunities to meet them and chat in person, too, giving you the chance to ask questions that relate more specifically to what you’re doing, as well as the opportunity to collaborate with them in the future.
New businesses often benefit from a combination of learning from the best and workshops that teach you how to apply everything you’ve just absorbed. Everything we have at Retail Fest is oriented towards cultivating lasting relationships and giving you the information and skills you need to accelerate your business growth.

While we’d love to toot our own horn, we think our past attendees do it best. We’ve had businesses and business owners attend year after year, and the feedback has been positive across our keynote speakers, catering, networking events, and everything in between.
When you attend, you’ll more than likely meet people who have been before, and our Retail Fest Hosted event is where you’re most likely to find them. With a fast-paced schedule that enables you to meet all the movers and shakers, we think you’ll have some great things to say once it’s all over, too.
