RETAIL DESIGN EXPO HITS LONDON THIS MARCH R ETAIL DESIGN EXPO, a new venture from Legend Exhibitions, will launch at London's Olympia this spring. The event, to be held March 10-11, will bring the retail industry together for a series of high-profile events and activities designed to generate debate about retail issues, followed by a major show consisting of an exhibition, conference program, theaters, workshops, store tours and more. Additionally, Retail Design Expo will host a competition for design students, the winners of which will be involved in next year's inaugural show, and will be awarded placements in client and consultancy teams. The expo is supported by an advisory panel that includes the likes of Peter Williams, former CEO of Selfridges and nonexecutive director of ASOS; Paul Porral, head of brand creative, John Lewis; Kim Morris, head of retail design, John Lewis; Ab Rogers and David Dalziel of Dalziel & Pow; FITCH London Chairman Tim Greenhalgh; and more. The main event also will coincide with the Retail Business Technology Expo (RBTE), which also is staged by Legend. The juxtaposition will bring together all elements of omnichannel retailing under one roof, according to the company. "Customers don't differentiate different channels when dealing with a retail brand," says Legend Founder John Bednall. "Stores also are increasingly incorporating more technological solutions as part of the customer experience. This makes the colocation of RBTE and Retail Design Expo a logical extension of the event to offer all customer engagement and retail operations solutions under one roof." - Lauren Mitchell Register now at retaildesignexpo.com.
