The Modern Distribution Congress is a unique event on the conference map of Poland. Its prestigious character is ensured by the participation of CEOs of key international retail chains operating in Poland and FMCG concerns, who will set strategic directions for the development of the trade sector, taking into account current trends. The Congress is also a platform for dialogue with representatives of the government and state administration, exchanging experiences with market leaders, discourse with outstanding experts, and establishing lasting relationships with business partners.
During the Congress, we will particularly look at the new reality in which the trade sector finds itself, the ongoing macroeconomic changes, and the challenges facing the industry’s digitalization. Thanks to the involvement of Poland’s largest retail chains, e-commerce, retailers, shopping centers, manufacturers, logistics representatives, pro-eco entities, expert institutions, and companies offering services and modern technologies for retail, we can count on a meeting and debates at the highest substantive level.
