The kick-off meeting brought together influential CEOs, esteemed dignitaries, and notable figures from the retail industry. The presence of former Polish President Lech Wałęsa, with his remarkable leadership and invaluable experience, added a touch of prestige to the evening. Widely admired for his pivotal role in the Solidarity movement and as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Lech Wałęsa's presence served as an inspiration to all in attendance, highlighting the profound impact of his contributions to Poland and the world.

Throughout the evening, participants engaged in meaningful conversations, sharing their visionary insights and expert knowledge. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as the official countdown to the Poland & CEE Retail Summit 2024 had begun. Industry leaders acknowledged the vast potential for valuable connections, collaborations, and advancements within the retail sector across Poland and the wider Central and Eastern European region.
