Enterprise Nation has teamed up with Insider Trends for a special event giving small retailers expert insights into the changing face of retail in the UK - and the opportunities this presents to ambitious businesses.

The Future of Retail, at the British Library from 6 to 9pm on Monday 25th March, will also look at the opportunities presented to small businesses by emerging technology, new business models and partnerships between large and small retailers. Attendees will also have the chance to network with other small-business owners during the evening. Hosted by Insider Trends founder Cate Trotter, the event's speakers will include:

  • Mark Collin, Head of Retail for Europe at Thoughtworks, who has been teaching retail giants like Morrisons to learn from small businesses.
