In this special episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, presented by MarketDial, Michael and Steve discuss their experience at the World Retail Congress 2023 in Barcelona, Spain.
We start by talking about our store tour organized by the WRC and our visit to Primark’s flagship store in Barcelona. Then we move on to discuss the Congress itself and what made it worthwhile attending, including the exciting format of the event and the central themes and learnings from the Congress.
As a Gold Media event sponsor, we hosted several thought leaders for interviews on upcoming episodes in our pop-up podcast studio. We discuss the big insights of the Congress and highlighted some of our favourite sessions and people we met and interacted with. World Retail Congress is a top-drawer event worth attending for every retail format and retail industry insiders.
