‘Retail hasn’t been decimated by Covid, it has been decimated by retail,’ say The Future Laboratory co-founders Martin Raymond and Chris Sanderson.

Essentially, Covid has acted as an accelerant for an already ailing industry, as everything from same-hour delivery services to homebody brands, next-generation fulfilment and customer service systems leaves more traditional players struggling to survive. As Raymond puts it: ‘Covid is the least of retail’s worries in the long term.’ So, how are our next-generation brands coping? What are the best-in-class case studies you need to look to? Who are the most knowledgeable experts to call on for practical advice? The Future Laboratory’s co-founders introduce you to the brands, innovators, retailers and systems that are saving the day – from Covid’s second-wave saviours to retail’s new ones. And, based on the conversations with CEOs and retail managing directors globally, Sanderson and Raymond chat live about how to recover, recalibrate and rewrite those old ways of thinking, as Covid-19 continues to dent profits and damage reputations.

‘When choosing between alternatives, we should ask ourselves not only how to overcome the immediate threat, but also what kind of world we will inhabit once the storm passes…’
Yuval Noah Harari, author and futurist

Market analysis, incoming trends, practical case studies and consumer insights are combined in this hour long briefing to help you mitigate risks, seize opportunities and embrace next-wave innovation for retail success in the coming 1–3-year time frames.

Highlights include exploring the rise of remote consumption, navigating direct-to-consumer directories, dark store solutions, fast fashion rental, multimedia storefronts and how the new customer feedback revolution can be harnessed to drive profits and improve your brand offer.
