Autumn Fair has revealed its "most ambitious and retailer-focused content programme" to date. Taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 7-10th September, this year’s show aims to shine a light on the pressures facing independent retailers with a programme of over 30 short sessions.
Across the brand-new Retail Corner stage and Buyers Retreat, the agenda promises "real-world strategies, future-facing trend intelligence, and expert-led workshops to help home, gift and fashion retailers buy smarter, sell better, and future-proof their businesses, while staying connected to the wider retail industry without missing a beat on the show floor".
Soraya Gadelrab, event director at Autumn Fair, says: “We know your time at Autumn Fair is precious, and for most of you, buying comes first. But we also know that in today’s fast-moving retail landscape, it’s harder than ever to stay ahead while juggling rising costs, shifting consumer behaviours, and constant digital change. That’s why for Autumn Fair 2025, we’re introducing a powerful new content agenda that’s practical, focused, and easy to consume, designed to fit around your buying and deliver maximum value in minimal time.
“We’re not adding content for content’s sake. This is about giving you real-world strategies and actionable insights that can make a genuine difference to your business, from marketing on a shoestring, to making your store unmissable, to understanding the trends your customers will care about next. These are short, impactful sessions that respect your time and focus on what matters – helping you buy smarter, sell better, and future-proof your business, all while staying connected to the wider retail community facing the same challenges.”
