In return for your complimentary delegate pass for this event, your attendance for all sessions is expected. Your only investment is your time, travel to the resort, and your full participation in the event during the 3 days.
Business Connect is a key icebreaker of the summit - it enables quick-fire introductions and targeted networking!
All retailers and networkers must select 10 meetings for a duration of 10 minutes each. All delegates have the ability to accept or decline individual meeting requests in the 3 weeks leading up to the event. You will receive a link inviting you to log in, update your profile and finalise your meetings.
You can send out meeting requests to networkers that are of interest to you, and/or accept meeting requests from networkers that are sent to you.
We require all attendees to have their 10 meetings confirmed prior to registering onsite. To find out more about Business Connect please visit our website.
On Tuesday 23 August we are running 2 fun networking activities from which you can chose one. This will be a great opportunity for you to connect with your industry peers and build your network and have fun along the way too. To find out more on our full agenda. Please visit the Agenda page on our website.
The networking activity takes place on Tuesday 23 August from 13:30 - 17:00.
Four weeks prior to the event, you will receive an email inviting you to log in and confirm your activity of your choice. Please make sure you choose early to avoid disappointment. Please visit our website to see what exciting activities we have available for you.

At registration you will have the opportunity to select which round table discussion you would like to join at the Roundtable session, which takes place on Day 3. This is a crowd favourite: selected Retailer delegates will moderate open discussions on their table's assigned topic. This session is a great opportunity to compare notes on mutual pain points or share success stories.
