PARTNER WITH THE
2026 Retail Leadership Study
The insights shaping how the industry leads next.
Why Partner With the Study?
The Retail Leadership Study is becoming a new standard in the industry, referenced by executives, culture leaders, people teams, frontline-focused companies, and leaders responsible for operational and customer experience performance across major U.S. and global brands.
In 2025, the study reached 3,000+ senior leaders, featured insights from 621 respondents, and sparked real internal changes inside organizations.
The 2026 Study expands to 1,200+ respondents worldwide, offering the most comprehensive view of what retail leaders need, value, and expect next.
A sponsorship places your brand at the center of that conversation.
