In 2015, World Retail Congress takes place at The Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria, Rome, one of the top hotels in Europe. Boasting an array of superior meeting rooms, beautiful terraces and one of Italy’s best restaurants the hotel will provide a 5* environment in which senior retail executives and CEOs can interact, share ideas and build relationships with their peers.
Crowned the Eternal City as one of Europe’s oldest and most revered destinations Rome has attracted an impressive array of international retailers and is home to some of Italy’s finest retail companies and brands.
From the old, bustling market streets to flagship department stores and exclusive outlets, retail is embedded into the lifeblood of the city and is one of the key attractions for international visitors.

Italian retailers have embraced the move to Rome, with leaders such as Oscar Farinetti, CEO of Gourmet eatery, Eataly, Mateo Alessi, VP of world-class kitchen designers Alessi, and Silvia Fendi, Creative Director of the international luxury brand all taking to the stage to share their vision of the future.
