RetailGo 2026: The Event for Retail Innovation
RetailGo brings together retailers and startups that are driving change in the retail industry
On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, join us for the 3rd edition of RetailGo at Leroy Merlin France
From 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., network with the innovation, e-commerce, and data teams from the region’s retailers, discover use cases already in production, and meet the startups making them possible.
RetailGo is aimed at retailers, manufacturers, retailtech startups, and everyone shaping the future of retail.
RetailGo offers transparent and pragmatic insights, free from political jargon or sales pitches. It’s an event focused on retail—both in-store and digital—delivered in a concise, high-impact format.
The central theme of the 2026 edition: social responsibility and people at the heart of innovation in the age of artificial intelligence. One year after the first large-scale deployments of generative AI in retail, the morning session takes stock of what’s actually working in stores, the measured gains, and the organizational challenges these tools are bringing to the surface within teams.
In 2025, the event brought together 250 participants in a sold-out session, 15 speakers, 12 startup pitches, and 4 success stories featuring both startups and major retailers.
RetailGo is co-organized by Cap Digital, EuraTechnologies and the CITC, with support from the European Union (EDIH program), the Hauts-de-France Region, and the European Metropolis of Lille.
