Learning from the best

Retail Genetics proudly hosts retail study tours designed by retailers, for retailers.

Visiting cities such as London, Tokyo, Shanghai, Seattle, Chicago and New York, tours visit the best retailers and hear from leaders in their field at every stop.

With more than 10 years experience in conducting world retail study tours, tour leader, Jack Hanrahan, has developed a strong network of retailers and specialists across the globe ensuring that every tour provides a high standard of education and inspiration.

Retail Genetics also hosts boutique tours, such as our 2018 tour to the NRF exhibition and conference in New York.

Designed for busy retail professionals.
Your time is valuable, so we aim to make the most of it on our retail study tours.

We schedule the itinerary so you travel the long legs overnight or on weekends, and you are away from the office for the shortest amount of time possible.
 
Retail stimulation, inspiration and education.
The stimulation starts the moment you get on the plane. You’ll join a group of people who are just as passionate as you are about retail – senior retailers, executives, designers, marketing executives and consultants. Along the way you’ll network and share your experiences as you:

• Meet some of the world’s best retailers
• Learn firsthand how they continually refine their brands and businesses
• See the latest store formats, merchandising techniques and innovations
• Absorb case studies
• Get a picture of how new technology is being applied
• Attend workshops
• Contribute your own ideas and point of view

 
It’s all designed to give you fresh perspectives that you can immediately put into practice in your own business back home.
