Innovation and collaboration to create impact and shape the future of shopping

On June 19 PwC arranges Retail Inspiration Day together with our partner Norrsken in Stockholm. The event consists of speakers, a panel discussion, break out sessions on hot topics, followed by mingle. We invite people from a multitude of backgrounds within the retail ecosystem: corporations, scaleups, academia and participants of Future of Shopping, an innovation and partnership program that PwC organises in the autumn. The focus will be on the transformation that the retail industry is currently undergoing.

We start off with a keynote by Emma Ridderstad and Patrik Stoopendahl. Together, they will talk about changing consumer behaviors and the implementation of emerging technologies, such as AR.

This is followed by a panel discussion on the theme ‘Retail paradoxes’. In the panel are Linda Pimmeshofer,  Jens Levin, Carolin Solskär, and Björn Dufwenberg.

After the panel, we break out into smaller round table sessions, facilitated by PwC, to discuss hot topics within retail, such as e.g sustainability and channel optimization.

Lastly, there will be a mingle where you will get some refreshments and get a chance to network with guests from business, scale ups, academia and PwC.

Please note that the event will be held in Swedish
