Retail and healthcare industry leaders to show how GS1 standards are transforming the way we work and live
GS1 UK is pleased to announce our latest industry conference: Supporting vital transformation in healthcare and retail. Held at the prestigious London Hilton on Park Lane on Tuesday 16 May 2017, the event will bring together industry leaders from retail and healthcare including Dave Lewis, CEO of Tesco.
In our complex, connected world, the boundaries between work, leisure, health and shopping are becoming increasingly blurred. GS1 standards are helping to transform the way we work and live by:
- Enabling standardised information to be shared between trading partners and with shoppers and patients
- Providing a foundation for innovation through a common language of business
- Facilitating stronger connection between retailers and brands and their customers, and between hospitals and their patients
Join us at our one-day industry conference, and you’ll hear how leading UK retail and healthcare organisations are transforming their organisations – to meet the changing demands and dynamics of today’s society.
Inspiring speakers will also explore common challenges and draw parallels between the increasingly connected worlds of retail and healthcare – where GS1 standards have a vital role to play.
You’ll hear from world-class speakers, including:
- Dave Lewis, CEO, Tesco
- Andy Street, Managing Director, John Lewis Partnership
- Dame Fiona Kendrick, Chairman and CEO, Nestlé UK & Ireland
- The RT Hon Lord Philip Hunt PC OBE, President, GS1 UK
You’ll also be joining CEOs of GS1 organisations from around the world, plus global industry leaders of the GS1 management board. The global community of GS1 plays a vital role in driving greater transparency and efficiency across modern supply chains and ultimately delivering better experiences for shoppers and patients.
- Gain inspiration and learn from different businesses and industries
- Network and share experiences with global industry peers
- See the benefits of GS1 standards in action and how other organisations are leveraging them
More speakers and the full programme will be announced here soon.
