Where Enterprise Retailers Discover the Latest in Tech

Retail Tech Marketplace (RTM) connects enterprise retailers with technology providers through curated 1-to-1 meetings and AI-powered matchmaking.

RTM brings together senior retail technology decision-makers - 96% of attendees sign off on or influence purchasing decisions, with 75% holding C-suite or Head of Department positions. This isn't a trade show floor; it's a focused day of pre-booked meetings designed to accelerate technology adoption.

From POS systems and supply chain platforms to AI-powered personalisation and unified commerce solutions, RTM covers the full spectrum of retail technology in a single, high-impact day.
