Independents Day 2016: What’s on the agenda

It is said that the devil is in the detail; so let me tell you about all the important details as to why you can’t afford to miss this year’s ‘How to be a retail champion’ themed iDay.

The NEG Conference, ‘A Digital Response to a Digital Age’, is in its usual November slot – this year being on Sunday 6 – with iDay following on Monday, November 7.

Detail 1: Awesome keynote speakers

I am delighted that our principle keynote speaker, opening and closing this years conference, is independent retail guru Clare Rayner. Clare is a business owner, retail expert, consumer champion, high street campaigner and micro business backer. Her expertise has led to her becoming a popular and highly respected speaker and media commentator, sharing her knowledge on a wide range of retail and consumer topics. She is frequently invited to appear on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, BBC, Sky, and Channel 5 News, as well as several radio broadcasts to offer advice and ideas for retailers.
