Events are not just about discovering new technologies, listening from speakers and meeting new suppliers - they are also about catching up with old friends, colleagues and making new connections.

Taking place at the IRX bar on the first evening in the centre of the exhibition floor, directly after the close of the event from 17:00-18:30, the networking drinks are an opportunity to chat to fellow retailers, sponsors and exhibitors over a glass or two of wine, beer or OJ - all on us.
