EuroShop 2023 will take place in Düsseldorf from 26 February to 2 March, providing a platform for over 1,700 exhibitors from 56 nations to showcase their latest developments and innovations in the retail industry.
EuroShop will showcase innovative solutions from exhibitors designed to help retailers adapt to the changing customer habits and needs. These cutting-edge solutions will help retailers optimize customer loyalty and stay ahead of the curve in an ever-evolving market.
EuroShop 2023 will also be focusing on key topics such as Connected Retail, Smart Store, Energy Management, Third Places, Customer Centricity, Experience and Lively City Centres. These topics will be explored on the 100,000 m² net exhibition space in 16 exhibition halls, giving retailers and industry professionals the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and future-oriented solutions.
In the wake of two years of tough restrictions, EuroShop 2023 provides the perfect opportunity for the retail industry to come together and discuss the challenges it has faced, and to explore the new solutions that will help it to recover and thrive in the future.
The fair will focus on key topics such as Connected Retail, Sustainability, Smart Store, Energy Management, Third Places, Customer Centricity, Experience, and Lively City Centres.
To meet the needs of the industry, EuroShop 2023 has been structured into eight clear experience dimensions, providing an even more visitor-oriented offering, synergies between different dimensions, and more hall space for strongly growing areas such as retail technology or refrigeration.
One of the key dimensions of EuroShop 2023 is Shop Fitting, Store Design & Visual Merchandising, which is the heart of EuroShop and its largest dimension. Visitors will be able to find answers to current questions from retailers, such as what a shop or store should be today, and be inspired by temporary design or modular concepts, as well as tangible solutions for sustainability.
Another important dimension is Lighting, which will showcase the complete range of modern illumination and store lighting, including LED technologies, which provide completely new possibilities for setting the emotional stage for products. The focus will be on sustainable energy solutions and intelligent lighting management.
Seamless Store, Analytics, AI, Mobile Payment, Connected Retail are just some of the dominant topics in the Dimension Retail Technology. It may read like a list of digital buzzwords, but these are the current and future customer relationship challenges. Digitalized and omnichannel communication as well as big data are revolutionizing relations between buyer and seller, customer and brand. The consequence? Shopping becomes an interactive high-tech experience. But classic retail technology is also developing rapidly. The exhibitors in the Retail Technology dimension help to shape perspectives and future fields of retail through the driving force of intelligent technology.
Materials & Surfaces, Retail Marketing, Expo & Event Marketing, Food Service Equipment, Refrigeration & Energy Management are other dimensions that will be covered in the EuroShop 2023.
