Four afternoon seminars.

For retailers, by retailers.

The Vlerick Retail Platform is a cycle of four afternoon seminars on current topics for retailers and by retailers, introduced from an academic perspective. The Vlerick Retail Platform is the most effective way to keep up-to-date in the rapidly changing world of retail trade. The breaks and the closing drink provide plenty of opportunities for networking.
