A little insight into the event:
'The role of technology and business solutions are crucial enablers to successful efficiencies in a brands international growth. The GRF was founded to aid retailers in simplifying global retailing, so understanding the use of todays technology was integral to supporting the GRF mission statement. For this reason the GRF has partnered with Retail Business Technology Expo and Cards & Payments Solutions in March 2012 to offer our global industry colleagues an exceptional opportunity to come together in probably one of the best cities in the world - London, to network and talk about the opportunities, issues and challenges that retailers face in today's economic climate.'
Mark Eve, Chairman of Global Retail Forum
