WE ARE THE GLOBAL RETAIL NETWORK. WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO JOIN US

Described by members as “the ultimate insider’s network” we bring the elite in international retail together and help members build lasting personal relationships with their peers.

We understand that it’s not who you know it’s what who you know knows. We appreciate that you don’t need more LinkedIn contacts, you want to add quality to your inner circle.

So that’s what we do.

1

At the heart of our proposition are members-only quarterly forums

The topical forum discussions are based on subjects that the members themselves propose. These intimate dinners are held at some of London’s finest venues.

There are currently forum series for Owners/Founders, International Directors and CFOs/Commercial Directors. This will expand across the C-suite and Senior Directors as the membership grows.

3

Around the forums we wrap a number of social events, all supported by our online platform

Social events are held for each group, and for the membership as a whole.

The platform allows you to connect with other members on your travels. And if there are members that you would like have breakfast with, or invite to a personal social event, we facilitate the connection.

We don’t like the industry events that dominate the calendar today

Events have an overwhelming tendency to be short on retailers and heavy on suppliers. Our policy is to run retailer-only events. Where we introduce an external perspective, it is only to inform and inspire discussion. We believe in sharing, not selling.

Events also push businesses not people. We appreciate that you can’t meet a logo. At our events you will know who’s on the list of attendees long before you get there.
