A strong retail concept starts with a good idea. But how do you make sure customers choose you? How do you determine the right price and margin? How do you get found in a world where customers are increasingly using AI? And above all: how do you build a concept that customers remember and return to?

What can you expect?
During Retail Up, you'll get a solid dose of inspiration, practical knowledge and new contacts in just one morning to strengthen your retail business.
No long theoretical sessions, but real stories from entrepreneurs, concrete examples and tips you can immediately apply to your own business.
Get inspired by retailers who really do it
We start with an inspiring keynote by Eliza of Kabine aan Zee. Drawing on her own experience, she will guide you through what makes a retail concept successful today. What works? What choices make the difference? And what would she do differently in hindsight?

Three expert talks. Short, powerful, and practical.
Then we zoom in on three themes that can make a difference for your store or retail concept today. Choose on the day which topic interests you most.
1. More control over your pricing & margins
Peter Geerom shows you how to approach pricing and margins strategically, and which pitfalls you should avoid as a retailer.

2. Get found in the AI era
Customers are no longer only searching via Google. AI tools are also playing an increasingly important role in how products and brands are discovered.
Michel DeBaer from OMCollective introduces you to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and shows you how to future-proof your online visibility.

Discover Trademart from the inside
After the talks, we'll head out for a tour of Trademart. Discover new brands, collections and suppliers, and get a better understanding of how you can make the most of Trademart as a retailer.
We’ll wrap up with a relaxed lunch and the opportunity to meet exhibitors and other retailers. It’s the perfect moment to ask questions, make new connections and perhaps even discover new opportunities for collaboration.
