So, where does it happen now?
A breakfast conversation about the future of retail, brand experiences and everything happening beyond four walls.
Tuesday 17 November 2026
8:30am – 10:30am
Notting Hill, London
Hosted by Heaps + Stacks
By invitation | Limited places | Registration required
Retail isn't dead. It's just not where we left it.
It's popping up in unexpected places, becoming part of culture,
creating communities and finding new ways to connect brands with people.
The traditional boundaries of retail are disappearing. A brand experience can
happen almost anywhere, but with so much competing for our attention,
what actually makes something worth showing up for?
On Tuesday 17 November, Heaps + Stacks and Shop Drop Daily
are bringing together a small group of brand, retail, marketing and creative
leaders for breakfast and a conversation about where physical retail is heading next.
No lengthy presentations. No conventional panel discussions. Just good food,
interesting people and a few big questions worth getting out of bed for.
WHAT'S ON THE MENU?
We'll kick things off with Tim Nash, founder of Shop Drop Daily, sharing some of the
most interesting ideas and examples shaping retail and brand experience around the world.
Then it's over to the room.
Across three informal, hosted table discussions, we'll explore:
Where Does Retail Happen Now?
If retail can happen anywhere, where should brands show up next?
What’s Worth Getting Out Of Bed For?
Beyond the product, what makes a physical brand experience worth someone's time,
and what value does it create for brands and customers?
What Do They Take Home?
What should people leave with beyond something they've bought,
and how do we make that last?
WHAT'S IN YOUR BAG?
We're turning the usual industry breakfast on its head.
Throughout the morning, you'll have the chance to build your own shopping list
for the future of retail, choosing what you think brands need more of,
what matters most to customers and what deserves to be left on the shelf.
Think of it as a little retail therapy for the industry.
And yes, there'll be something to take home.
