About this event

The School of Business and Economics and the Town Centres Research Interest Group are delighted to invite you to celebrate 25 years of retail education and research at Loughborough University at this free full-day event on the future of retail.

25 years ago online retailing did not exist, with email and mobile phones still in their infancy. The physical and digital retail landscape has seen phenomenal change during this time. In this highly dynamic environment, Loughborough University has remained a constant force in developing highly qualified and talented graduates who have contributed to shaping the retail industry.

This exciting event will bring leading retailers and academics together to deliver what promises to be a glimpse into the next 25 years of retailing.
