1997 saw the launch of EuroCIS – then called the “Retail Technology Forum”. This congress and exhibition evolved in the following years to become the leading retail technology trade fair in Europe, taking place every three years as part of EuroShop and as an annual stand-alone event in the intervening years. An absolute must for the retail industry – and for technology specialists.

What makes EuroCIS so special – and successful – is that it is not a purely e-commerce trade fair. It is the only industry event covering the relevant interfaces between the bricksand- mortar and the digital worlds. That is a unique advantage because online and offline business are being integrated at an increasingly fast pace, especially in the sale of goods and services.

No other trade fair provides such a snapshot of what is happening in the fast-moving retail technology world. No other trade fair can map retail IT so extensively in all its different forms and functions.

Exhibitors, visitors, space – the three most important success indicators point permanently up at EuroCIS. EuroCIS 2018 presented

• 470 exhibitors
• from 29 countries
• 13,400 m² net exhibition space
• and around 12,000 trade visitors

eager to see the industry’s innovations. All showing the speed at which technology is becoming crucial to retail in so many ways. And evidence of the efficiency of EuroCIS as a business platform.

Technology never sleeps – no one knows that better than the exhibitors and visitors of EuroCIS.
