Seminar overview

New Retail: Location is everything - or is it?

Retail is very much about seeking the next new experience and this often involves radical ideas that are a distinct departure from traditional concepts - High Street, laneways, above ground, underground, shopping centres, urban precincts, pop-up retail, collectives, the internet. Where are the opportunities? What is the new experience? What are the innovations? What impacts on success?
