With a mix of restaurants, bars, and cultural spaces woven throughout, Fulham Pier delivers both energy and elegance, creating a dynamic backdrop for connection, conversation and discovery. Forward-thinking yet rooted in its iconic riverside location, Fulham Pier reflects the evolution of modern placemaking where leisure, lifestyle and destination-led experiences come together. A fitting setting to explore the innovators and visionaries shaping tomorrow’s places. We’re also offering exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of Fulham Football Club Stadium. If you’d like to take part, simply select the relevant ticket when booking. Spaces are limited.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Revo’s Annual Conference 2026 is the moment the retail, leisure and built environment sectors come together, not just to talk, but to act. This is where investors, developers, designers, occupiers, experience-makers, and innovators gather under one roof with a shared sense of purpose: to shape the next generation of retail-led destinations, together.
Our sector is at an inflection point, where the challenges are real, the opportunities are significant, and the response has to be collective. The agenda cuts to the heart of what matters most right now, how capital is moving and what that means for the assets we invest in; how we reimagine places to unlock lasting value; how occupiers are changing and what they need from us to thrive; and how AI, proptech, and an unrelenting focus on customer experience are raising the bar for what great destinations can achieve.
Across a dynamic programme, expect content that challenges thinking, sparks ideas, and drives action and brought to life through candid conversations, audience interaction, and real world insights from leading voices across the sector. But perhaps most importantly, this is the forum where deals begin, partnerships form, and new ideas take hold, offering unrivalled networking with the senior decision-makers, innovators, and practitioners who are actively building the future of retail-led destinations.
The most important conversations in the sector happen here. Be part of making them count.

| FOUR | The International Edit: What Brings Brands to London and What Stops Them Going Further,” organised in association with the World Retail Congress’s World Brand Partnership Forum | Building on Revo’s Futures Report, this session brings together brands and real estate leaders to explore the challenges of UK market entry, from flagship visibility versus commercial viability to London first strategies versus wider national growth. It will examine how better data, local insight, partnerships and flexible expansion models can help international brands enter, test and scale successfully across the UK. |

| SIX | Keynote – fireside chat with an industry leader – “Lessons learned” | A candid fireside chat with an industry leader on navigating disruption, driving transformation, and building enduring value. |
| SEVEN | The Operator Perspective: Retail and Leisure at the Heart of Placemaking | Retailers and leisure operators are co-creators of place. As consumer expectations evolve, their role in shaping vibrant, relevant, and experience-led destinations has never been more critical. This session brings the operator voice to the forefront, exploring how brands are redefining physical space and partnering with landlords to deliver destinations that people actively choose to visit. |
| Networking Break Recharge and Reconnect | ||
| EIGHT | Repurpose to Re‑energise – From Anchor to Asset: Repurposing Department Stores for a New Era | Over the past few years, we’ve all talked about the scale of the challenge: millions of square feet of empty space left behind by the collapse of department stores anchoring our high streets and shopping centres. We’ve also seen no shortage of ideas for what those spaces could become. But now feels like a turning point. |
| NINE | Retail & Leisure Real Estate – No Longer Just Place | Retail and leisure real estate is increasingly defined by the interaction of fast-moving forces, including AI, climate, energy, geopolitics, social divergence, owner-occupier partnership and capital confidence, which reinforce one another and reshape customer appetite, confidence and behaviour. Taking forward Revo’s Forces Driving Retail and Leisure Places research, this session explores these forces as a system of interconnected, continually evolving dichotomies orbiting around the customer and what this means for how the sector invests, owns, designs and operates places. |
