Retail Technology Innovation Hub wishes you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

As 2022 draws to a close, we want to take this chance to wish you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous 2023.

We hope the year has been good to you.

We’re pleased to say that Retail Technology Innovation Hub had a very successful 2022, with highlights including the fourth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.

We received a record number of submissions this year across 14 categories (you can find a full rundown of the 2022 shortlists here).

Our winners and highly commended companies were announced during a sold out event that took place in central London on Tuesday, 6th December and was attended by retailers, tech suppliers, members of our judging panel, and sponsors.

March, meanwhile, brought the launch of the first ever edition of our printed magazine.

2022 also saw us beat our rival titles to a number of retail tech scoops and interviews. 

And that helped us to significantly grow our social media presence (particularly LinkedIn) and boost our visitor numbers to the point that we can confidently say we’re now the leading UK-based title for the global omnichannel retail technology community. 

Oh, and we finished the year with a redesign of our website, and the launch of the RTIH Retail Technology Innovations Report, sponsored by Metapack.

Not bad for a bootstrapped startup that launched just five years ago!

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS

We’ve got big plans for 2023, including further printed editions of RTIH, an expanded 2022 RTIH Innovation Awards, and more real life events.

To find out more, follow us on Twitter here and LinkedIn here.

SO HERE IT IS, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wishing our customers, partners, supporters, readers and followers all the best for the year ahead.

We’re now signing off for a well deserved festive break. Normal service will be resumed on Tuesday, 3rd  January.
