2026 is the year retail gets intentional.
After a decade of disruption, the leaders who win next are the ones who can rewire how they think, operate, and perform.
Retail Rewired is about building smarter, faster, more profitable retail; where data, AI, people, and mindset work together to drive outcomes, not just activity.
Rising costs. Accelerating AI. Customer expectations that never slow down.
Success now belongs to retailers who can turn insight into action, automation into advantage, and organisational mindset into real momentum.
This year’s iMedia Retail Summit brings together New Zealand’s most progressive retail leaders to:
- Decode what’s working right now
- Cut what no longer serves
- Rebuild for clarity, control, and commercial performance
Because in 2026, growth isn’t accidental-it’s engineered.
Clarity over chaos.
Results over rhetoric.
Mindset that moves the needle.
Retail’s next chapter starts here.
