Participants will receive a copy of the book!
The boundaries of customer experience
The Gamechangers programme takes a look ahead: Which retail models are future-proof in a digital world post-Covid? What are the high expectations of tomorrow’s consumers? RetailDetail editor-in-chief Stefan Van Rompaey will introduce innovative retail concepts that push the boundaries of the customer experience. Joined by, among other, trend watcher Maarten Leyts from Trendwolves, entrepreneurs Jim Cantens and Guy Rietens from the concept store The Guest and Karl Lechat who created a new bicycle store chain for mobility player D’Ieteren.
