The Curated Community for Commerce Leaders

RetailCraft is our invitation-led community for senior leaders at consumer facing brands. Since 2008, we have been the "off-the-record" hub for the UK’s most progressive operators, hosting over 150 private dinners and think tanks.

Your RetailCraft Experience at CustomerX

CustomerX

We respect your time. Membership ensures you spend it getting the answers you need, not standing in queues.

  • Fast-Track Learning: Skip the registration lines with dedicated VIP entry and get priority seating at the Supernova and Changemaker theatres . You’re here for the "Threenote" sessions and raw implementation stories; we make sure you have the best view in the house.
     

  • Direct Peer Connections: Use the CustomerX app to browse the member directory and schedule 1-2-1 meetings specifically with other RetailCraft members. It is the simplest way to book time with peers facing your exact challenges.
     

  • A Sanctuary for Conversation: Use the RetailCraft Lounge as your base for those meetings. It’s a high-end, "sales-free" space away from the noise of the show floor, with all-day refreshments and quiet areas to catch up on work.
     

  • Tailored Inspiration: While others "browse" the expo, you get a more focused experience. We help you find the Discovery Trails and Learning Labs that provide the practical blueprints you can actually use when you get back to the office.

Year-Round Value: Beyond the Event

Monthly Board Briefs

You choose the subject; we create a concise board-level brief.

We do the heavy lifting on the research so you can focus on the strategy.

Closed-Door Conversations

Exclusive invitations to 10–12 private dining dinners a year in London and major European cities. No sales pitches, just high-level peer exchange under the Chatham House Rule.

Direct Access to Experts

Use our "Ask us anything" research service.

If you need a specific data point to validate a commercial move, we’ll do the legwork.
