Not only is the GCC is becoming one of the most important international markets for British luxury goods, but tourists from the region's constituent countries to the UK are increasingly influential to luxury brands here on home turf. That's why, this March, Walpole is swapping London for Dubai and taking a delegation of members to The Retail Summit – an annual gathering of the leaders from across the retail, hospitality and tech spheres with a stellar line up of speakers. In addition to the superb programme of events, the summit offers numerous opportunities for networking with partners from across the region and international guests who are coming to Dubai for the event.

The Retail Summit takes place on the 14th and 15th March 2023. You can find out more about the programme here.

Already confirmed to speak at the event are representatives from Walpole member brands including:

 
As part of the trip we’ll organise an event with our partner, Chalhoub, one of the largest distributors and retailers in the GCC on the 16th March) , and make introductions to the teams at the British Embassy there.

Through our partnership with the event, we have 10 tickets for Walpole members to attend The Retail Summit as our guests.
