DECIDING THE FUTURE OF AFRICA’S RETAIL

Retail practice and ecosystem across Africa have long been undecided. Undeniable effects introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic leading to changes in consumer behaviours, market routes, and business models. Retail businesses and players within the continent must not only be resilient but innovative in positioning themselves and Africa as a retail hub.
 
Since 2021, the Africa Retail Academy, an initiative of Lagos Business School, has been nurturing the next generation of African retail professionals, practitioners, and captains of industry. Drawing upon the expertise of foremost academics and practitioners from around Africa, the academy paints a vivid portrait of the history, future, and present state of retail on the continent. With the explosion of such a dynamic and increasingly modernised sector comes myriad opportunities, risks and potential that a well-positioned retail professional can manoeuvre through to positive effect.
 
2022 marks the first Africa Retail Congress and will be held in Lagos, Nigeria. We will be exploring the theme ‘The Future of Retail: Positioning Africa as a Retail Hub’.
 
Join us on November 12 at Lagos Business School, Nigeria, as we discuss the issues confronting you and your boardroom and chart the way forward for retail in Africa. At the Congress, you will be enthused with nuanced continent-specific ideas and network with the big players in retail.
 
Come and ask your challenging questions and have industry experts share their knowledge and experiences. You will head out the congress well equipped to steer your business growth and development.
