The eighth edition of ‘Retail Congress 2026’ was held at the Radisson Blu Water Garden Hotel in the capital on Saturday, under the initiative of Bangladesh Retail Forum and Bangladesh Brand Forum.
The day-long conference, themed ‘Transforming Retail Through Knowledge’, was attended by the country’s leading retailers, brand leaders, supply chain experts, marketing professionals, and decision-makers from various sectors.
The discussion highlighted the changing reality of the retail sector in Bangladesh, where data-driven strategies, customer behavior analysis, operational efficiency, and the use of technology are becoming increasingly important. The congress featured three keynote sessions, three panel discussions, and two insight sessions.
In his opening remarks, Sajid Mahbub, Group Chief Executive Officer and Executive Editor of Bangladesh Brand Forum, said, “The retail sector is currently being redefined by the ability to transform knowledge into action. Understanding changing customer needs and adapting quickly will determine future leadership.” He added, “As Bangladesh’s retail sector becomes more diverse and complex, the need for data-based decision-making is increasing. Such platforms bring together industry stakeholders and collectively help build a sustainable and future-oriented retail ecosystem.”
