A new world of opportunities to meet and connect…

Engage with the UK’s top Retail businesses at ReTec ’25

It used to be that, every year, the entire retail profession gravitated towards massive retail solutions expos. Some in far flung, sunny locations. However, declining attendance and the high cost of exhibiting (or even just attending), means that for many these old style expos are out of step with modern business.

Retail is a dynamic, fast-moving industry. People don’t just want to know the brand, they want to know the individuals who will deliver the promises the brand makes. And that can only be achieved through genuine customer engagement. That’s why ReTec Europe takes a bespoke, boutique approach to connecting retailers and suppliers.

ReTec is perfect for meeting those who influence or are responsible for making purchasing decisions around ways to increase productivity, reduce costs, attract more customers, improve the brand experience, enhance security and sell more…

More about us

Retail Knowledge – organising events for Retail since 2002

Founded by Global Top 100 Retail Influencer, Paul Bessant, every year we host events for retail across five continents.

We are not just an events company. We are a RETAIL events company – a trusted part of the retail industry. I am proud that retailers not only regularly trust us with commercially sensitive information, but also seek our opinions when choosing new solutions or making senior appointments.

Paul Bessant
Founder of Retail Knowledge

Paul Bessant

Paul’s nascent career was spent on the frontline of retail at the likes of Sainsbury’s, Homebase, Co-Op and ALDI where he acquired extensive knowledge of retail operations and management.

Subsequently he took a position with the eCommerce Trade Association’s CommerceNet Consortium and The European Ecommerce Association (EEA), a position that he held for several years.

After two years on secondment at the European Commission, Paul then founded Retail Knowledge in 2002. Over the last 20 years Paul has guided the business through many turbulent times, always with a focus on helping retailers to collaborate better with each other and with the industry’s leading suppliers in order to mitigate risk and defeat crime.

Today his Retail Risk conference series has grown to become the largest retail risk management and loss prevention conference series in the world, with events taking place across five continents annually. His weekly podcasts are enjoyed by thousands around the world and was recently awarded the accolades of the most influential podcast in risk management and the seventh most influential in the whole of retail. He is a sort after speaker and industry expert.
