Practitioner-led
Priority is given to leaders who can share real work and lived experience.
ABOUT THE SUMMIT
A focused forum for
retail people leadership.
Built for senior leaders who need relevant insight, candid peer exchange and practical ideas—not another general HR event.
27–28 January 2027 · Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff · JohannesburgOUR PURPOSE
To move the people agenda closer to the centre of retail strategy.
Retail transformation succeeds when workforce strategy and business strategy move together.
The Africa Retail HR Summit convenes practitioners from across the continent to examine the decisions behind stronger frontline performance, better leadership, modern skills, responsible technology and resilient culture.
Sessions are curated for relevance to African operating realities and designed to surface honest lessons as well as success.
HOW WE CURATE
Substance before
stagecraft.
Retail-relevant
Every topic must connect clearly to the challenges and opportunities of retail.
Pan-African
The programme respects market differences while identifying lessons that travel.
Action-oriented
Delegates should leave with questions, frameworks and ideas they can use.
