Introducing Matt Bradley and the Retail Technology Show

If you’ve been anyway involved in a retail tech exhibition or conference over the past 10 years, chances are you’ll be familiar with the name Matt Bradley.

He’s the man who launched the groundbreaking RBTE (Retail Business Technology Expo) in 2011 which within 2 years became the largest show of its kind in Europe. RBTE later rebranded to Retail Expo.

With a renowned track record of bringing together the right vendor to the right retailer and with a black book to die for, is there anyone better than Matt to be behind this important retail tech show?

And with a month to go, a sold-out floor plan, retailer registration through roof, and Steven Bartlett, Mike Coupe and Jeremy Swartz all confirmed as headline speakers, it’s safe to his most recent offering, Retail Technology Show, is going to be bigger than ever.
