The Future of The High Street 2025

Physical retail is special. The joy of discovery, the deeper connection with a brand and the immersion in a shopping experience that cannot be replicated.

As retailers formulate their long-term strategies, the data suggests that investment in experiential elements — from AR fitting rooms to in-store social spaces — may be as crucial as the product offering itself. The high street of tomorrow, it seems, will be as much about entertainment as it is about commerce.

Our mission is to shift the narrative around high streets by showcasing innovation, transformation, and success stories, inspiring confidence, footfall, and investment to keep these spaces vibrant for future generations.

This event will showcase the retailers ready to reinvent the wheel to remain relevant to consumers in today’s rapidly changing retail landscape and times.

Join us as we hear from retail leaders and industry experts about working together to support and champion high streets, sharing best practice and developing new solutions to the challenges and strategies shaping the future of retail stores.
