We had the opportunity to attend the 10th edition of Paris Retail Week to discover the latest trends and innovations in a sector undergoing profound change, driven by economic pressures such as inflation and technological upheavals such as artificial intelligence. The event began with the announcement by NRF President Matthew Shay and Paris Retail Week PresidentArnaud Gallet of a strategic alliance between the National Retail Federation and COMEXPOSIUM to create a new show of unprecedented scope in Europe: the NRF Big Show Europe. Next year, Paris Retail Week will give way to this ambitious event, which will offer renewed positioning, enriched content, with more international speakers and a larger exhibition spread over two pavilions instead of one.
