Retail
Where retail’s leaders meet.
One evening. The decision-makers of the retail sector.
Captains of Retail brings together the C-level of Belgian retail for one private evening. Two speakers of stature set the tone; after that, the floor belongs to the conversations that truly matter.
No open registration, no trade-show floor. A select gathering, carefully curated — the people who shape the direction of the sector, in the same room.
The speakers
Two speakers of stature set the tone for the evening, between 19:00 and 20:00.

Who is the new man at the helm of Jumbo in Belgium? First and foremost, an entrepreneur. Anrico Maat, who has been Director of Jumbo Belgium since April, was previously Sales Director at the supermarket group, but before that he ran 20 Jumbo supermarkets in the north of the Netherlands for many years and was even chairman of the Franchise Association. How does he now intend to bring that entrepreneurial spirit to Belgium? And how can Jumbo still make a difference in a saturated market? Find out at the Captains of Retail event.

A seat in the room
Captains of Retail brings together a select gathering of C-level retailers — the people who steer the sector. As a partner, you share that evening with them: no crowd, no noise, just the right names in the same room.
The number of partners stays deliberately small. Those who join, join exclusively. For the final places, we’d be glad to talk.
