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 2027 Study expands to 2,094+ 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.
