ACROSS Retail Talks on “What’s new in Retail?”

This online event format was held for the third time this year. Three top-class panelists outlined the industry’s developments that were accelerated by Covid-19. A big and prominent expert-audience followed the discussion.

As a Member of the Management Board of the Spar Group, Marcus Wild has been responsible for real estate, the sports retail chain Hervis, and business process management since January 1, 2021. He is also responsible for SES, a shopping center subsidiary, which he steered to market leadership in Austria and Slovenia in his role as CEO.

For the retail sector it has been a year like no other, but it is becoming clear that the health crisis has impacted the industry at different degrees.
