E-commerce and Retail Exhibitions

These events bring together people involved in trade and sales one way or another: shop and chain owners, marketplace sellers, buyers and purchasing managers. Suppliers show them shop equipment and checkout systems, services for online stores, retailers' private label goods and new product lines.

Moscow: Spring and Early Summer

In Russia all events of the theme take place in Moscow. In March Crocus Expo hosts HouseHold Expo with household goods, and ChemiCos STM, a showcase of contract manufacturing of household chemicals and cosmetics. In late March the Infoprostranstvo Event Hall hosts VerSous, an exhibition of vending and self-service systems. Early April brings SELLER FEST for marketplace sellers, and mid-April SobMaExpo, a show of private label brands. In early June ECOM Expo covers technologies and services for online retail. All dates are on the page of Moscow exhibitions of the industry.

Worldwide: from Düsseldorf to Las Vegas

The main European event on IT for retail is EuroCIS in Düsseldorf in February: checkout systems, store software and analytics. In the USA the year opens with NRF: Retail's Big Show in New York in January, Shoptalk takes place in Las Vegas in spring, followed there in autumn by Groceryshop on grocery retail, while Barcelona hosts Shoptalk Europe in June. For online stores there are E-commerce Berlin Expo in February and ECommerce Expo in London in September, while sellers entering foreign markets will find the August Cross Border E-commerce Fair in Shenzhen useful. Closer to Russia there are Retail Show Central Asia in Tashkent and World of Trade in Almaty, where suppliers meet buyers from retail chains.

By industry, it is easier to browse the lists of retail trade shows and online retail exhibitions, and the industry's business programmes are in the section of business conferences on e-commerce and trade.
