RetailX Salon - a quarterly exchange of ideas

JOIN the peer-led, confidential quarterly meet-up

RetailX Salon is a quarterly, off-the-record meet-up series to support an exchange of ideas.

The informal, confidential and peer-led programme balances ideas, experience and discussion.

We cover topics of commercial interest to leaders in digital D2C – retailers, brands selling direct, marketplaces and experiences.

Four, quarterly meetings constitute our first season, starting on 1 May, 2024.

The Salon is a space to make and change your mind!

FORMAT 🧁

  • An inspiring and cozy venue (the penthouse at the Allbright Townhouse in London)
  • A lifebalance-friendly time (afternoon, 2.30~5.30pm)
  • Powered by afternoon tea, cakes and savouries.

RetailX will support the topics with a prepared Board Brief for both prep and reference afterwards, and supporting materials will be available to participants in the Salon online resource.

BACKGROUND ✏️

Over the years RetailX has hosted 157 executive networking dinners, and a growing sentiment has been the desire to spend more time talking with and learning from each other.

At the end of 2023, at a Podcast Alumni dinner, some guests volunteered to share expertise, others suggested topics, and Georgia (our podcast co-host) and her team agreed to support the idea. The Salon series was born.

PRACTICALITIES πŸ“‹

We’ll invite leaders to a group and arrange a quarterly meeting, polling the group for topics, questions and suggestions, and then facilitating the conversation with some research.

WHO IS THIS FOR? πŸ™‹πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

Commercial leaders in digital D2C businesses. Whether retailers and brands from the Top500 ranking, marketplace leaders, or selling experiences to consumers in hospitality, entertainment, leisure… The conversation is driven by D2C professionals and so the Salon is not suited to B2B suppliers, agencies or consultants to the industry. If you’re unsure as to fit, relevance or criteria please contact Ian to discuss.
