Consider this event your dedicated space!
Ami Rabheru, former retail buyer turned retail strategist, envisioned Retail Huddle Live with you in mind, knowing firsthand that being a retail entrepreneur can feel isolating. The relentless challenges of being a founder and the weight of going it solo.
"It's where connections are made, collaborations happen, light-bulb moments are born, and it can really shape your business to what it can become."
Stronger Together.
