iMedia Retail Summit NZ 2027

iMedia Retail Summit New Zealand is a 2.5-day retail and eCommerce leadership experience held in Ōtautahi Christchurch, New Zealand, built around curated conversations and pre-arranged connections between retailers and technology/solutions partners.

What attendees can expect (and why it’s worth attending):

• You will take part in curated 1:1 meetings designed to fast-track relevant partnerships, vendor evaluation, and commercial conversations (rather than leaving networking to chance).
• You will hear practical insights from retail leaders and industry speakers focused on what’s working now across customer experience, digital transformation, data, and omnichannel execution.
• If you attend as a retailer delegate, you can expect a highly hosted experience that reduces friction and maximizes time in sessions and meetings (with hospitality and accommodation included for approved retailer delegates).
• If you attend as a solution provider, you will get structured access to decision-makers through the summit’s meeting-led format, helping turn pipeline-building into a focused, time-efficient process.
• You will leave with a clearer view of priorities and next steps thanks to a format built for peer exchange, benchmarking, and real-world problem-solving—beyond panels alone.

Attendance depends on delegate type: retailer passes are invitation-only and complimentary (for approved delegates), while networker passes for tech/solutions vendors are paid and subject to approval.
