Global Retail Executive Council

GREC's unique position as a global industry association allows us to partner with a diverse range of entities - from conferences to media to tech companies - to create new experiences that advance common goals.

One of the core philosophies of GREC is "complement rather than compete." In that spirit, we work with our partners to identify opportunities to leverage our unique position to enhance existing events and programs rather than creating isolated and "net new" activities. This allows us to bring a unique value to both sponsors and partners by making their activities more relevant and top of mind for new audience segments.
