Event Details
The retail sector has taken a hard hit over the course of the pandemic, bearing the brunt of strict social distancing measures and falling disposable incomes. As a result, COVID-19 has exposed some clear winners and losers, and has accelerated several key trends that were slow to take hold initially, like the broad-based use of online shopping and digital payments.
With the height of the pandemic behind us and countries better-equipped at operating in the new normal business landscape (especially with a vaccine rollout on the horizon), we aim to help you with your strategic planning by taking a closer look at which consumer habits will stick and reinvent the retail landscape for businesses and the industry as a whole. Our discussion will also branch into how changing consumer habits will further impact traditional brick and mortar businesses, especially those that depend on experience goods. We will delve into these topics, as well as the industry outlook for the retail sector in 2021 and beyond, with our panel of experienced experts in this field.
Please note that this event is limited to senior-level executives and per invitation only. If you are not an existing member of The Economist Corporate Network, but would like to learn how you can attend our events, please send an email to ecn_sea@economist.com.
