normous growth seen in the Middle East retail industry, especially due to the steady increase of population and tourism in the last few
years, has resulted in an influx of international retail brands throughout the Middle East. This means that there isn’t just one mall
anymore, there aren’t just a handful of fashion brands, there isn’t one place to eat and there isn’t just one place to buy electronics or buy
perfume – consumers in the Middle East have a choice.
This boom in direct retail competition has meant that it is more urgent than ever for those in retail operations to improve their in-store
operations and management in order to increase their market share, satisfy their customers, attract new ones, and maximize
their retail revenue.
While there are many exhibitions and trade shows in the market which broadly discuss retailing, retail operations lack a platform to discuss
and discover new ideas in retail operations - targeted directly at their issues and challenges.
