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.
