Open stages
Professional development at the highest level
Retail Technology is finally coming to Norway – bringing with it one of the event’s most important success factors from Sweden: the open stages.
In Sweden, Retail Technology has established itself as a leading knowledge platform for the entire retail industry. Now, this success story continues at Nova Spektrum in Lillestrøm, where visitors will gain access to inspiring presentations, international speakers, relevant industry insights and practical examples of how technology is shaping the future of retail.
The open stages are a central part of Retail Technology. They enable knowledge sharing across retail, e-commerce, retail tech, AI, payments, logistics and customer experiences. The programme offers visitors professional development at the highest level, while also creating a stronger meeting place for exhibitors.
For exhibitors, this means more than a conference programme. The high-calibre speakers and relevant topics attract the right people to the event: decision-makers, leaders, buyers and industry professionals actively seeking new solutions, knowledge and partnerships. When the right visitors come to the stages, this also generates more footfall, more relevant conversations and better business opportunities at the stands.
Retail Technology Norway will therefore be more than a place for inspiration – it will be a marketplace where knowledge, networking and new business come together.
From knowledge to qualified meetings
The open stages are designed to bring the industry together around the most important questions shaping the future of retail. When timely topics, leading profiles and international speakers are on the programme, they attract visitors who are not only looking for inspiration, but are actively seeking new solutions, partners and knowledge.
For exhibitors, this means that the stages become a direct driver of footfall on the event floor. The right professional topics attract the right decision-makers to the event, creating natural transitions from presentations to conversations, demonstrations and meetings at the stands.
This is one of the reasons why Retail Technology has become a success in Sweden – and why we are now bringing the same model to Norway.
International speakers who attract decision-makers
A strong conference programme is one of the main reasons why Retail Technology has become a success in Sweden. Every year, international speakers, industry leaders and innovators come together to share experience, new perspectives and practical strategies for the future of retail.
These profiles do more than inspire – they also attract the right visitors. When leading experts share their knowledge, decision-makers, leaders and buyers attend the event to learn, develop their businesses and discover new solutions. The result is a stronger event floor, with more qualified meetings and greater business opportunities for exhibitors.

Why the stages create more business opportunities
A strong conference programme is much more than a series of inspiring presentations – it is one of the main reasons why the right visitors choose to attend the event.
When international experts, leading retail professionals and timely topics take to the stage, Retail Technology attracts decision-makers with concrete investment plans and a desire to find new solutions. This creates a meeting place with high-quality visitors and gives exhibitors access to an audience that is relevant to their business.
The stages contribute to a vibrant event experience where knowledge, inspiration and business opportunities go hand in hand. Visitors move naturally between the presentations and the event floor, creating more spontaneous meetings, more valuable conversations and better opportunities to build new business relationships.
It is this combination of professional development, networking and business focus that has made Retail Technology a success in Sweden – and is now being brought to Norway.
