Retail Champion Events
Where strategy meets sparkle. And every detail drives ROI.
We don’t just plan events. We engineer experiences that turn browsers into buyers, high streets into destinations, and brands into conversations.
Whether it’s a national conference, a town centre takeover, or an in-store soirée with prosecco and purpose — we bring strategy, creativity and twenty years of know-how to the table (and the podium, and the high street…).
Why choose The Retail Champion to run your event?
Because we’ve done this before. A lot. From robot combat at RAF airshows back in 2003, to launching Independent Retailer Month, to running over 50 major business events (yes, even before it was cool).
We’ve got:
- Decades of strategic retail insight
- A hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up team (meet Sophie, our hype creator and ticketing wizard. And Hannah, our event ninja and logistics queen)
- Creative flair and commercial focus
- A track record of events that don’t just look good — they convert
We plan events that mean business.
Literally. Because every event should serve a purpose — not just fill a diary.
What kind of events do we run?
If it involves people, places, and something to shout about, we’re in:
In-store events – from exclusive launches to loyalty-building evenings, we’ll help you create a reason to visit, browse, buy and tell their friends.
Town centre activations – think festivals, twilight trails, treasure hunts, and footfall-driving seasonal campaigns.
Conferences & summits – yes, we’ve been doing these since the early 2000s (and a few people have tried to copy us – looking at you, Retail Bulletin).
Networking with a purpose – no more limp buffets and awkward small talk. We bring the right people together, in the right space, with real commercial intent.
Product launches – we know how to create buzz, build a crowd, and make your latest release one to remember (and one that sells).
Customer events – because retail is about relationships. And relationships are built through shared moments, not just email flows.
