Announcing a new Retail Risk Conference specifically focussed on Supply Chain Risk Management…

As ORC permeates more and more settings, supply chain resilience has come under pressure. Every retailer knows that supply chain risk has grown exponentially in recent years. In response, Retail Risk is launching this new conference…

On the Move

8 May 2025

Coventry Building Society Arena, Judds Lane Longford Coventry CV6 6AQ
8.30am - 5pm

Retail Risk – On The Move: The Supply Chain Risk Management Conference – has been developed in direct response to supply chain challenges and at the request of stakeholders – for an event specifically focussed upon risk management of the retail supply chain.

This one-day conference is dedicated entirely to supply chain risk rather than general supply chain topics, as there are already other major conferences covering those areas.

Attendance is free for retailers, academics, and law enforcement personnel, while only vendors sponsoring the event will have access. The conference will feature a full day of stage presentations, round table discussions, and networking opportunities, mirroring the successful format of other Retail Risk conferences worldwide. Attendees will also enjoy complimentary lunch and refreshments throughout the day.

The agenda is carefully curated to engage supply chain decision-makers and their teams from leading European retailers, as well as risk management solutions providers. This event promises to be an invaluable opportunity for industry professionals to connect, share insights, and explore innovative strategies for managing supply chain risks effectively.

100% Free. Always.

Each event is sponsored. And, thanks to the generosity of those sponsors, everything at our conferences is free for delegates to use and enjoy.

No Sales Pitch. Ever.

Delegates are never asked to sit and watch hours of sales presentations. And the only vendors allowed into the conference are those who are sponsoring it.

What About Lunch?

Lunch is served to every delegate free of charge. And not a dog-eared sandwich and a packet of chips! We pride ourselves on using top venues with high quality catering.
