Dear Valued Partners and Delegates:

Based on current market conditions in Europe, the event organisers have agreed to cancel this spring’s European Retail Technology Summit, scheduled for 31 May-1 June in Berlin. We will be meeting with our key partners to determine the future course of the Summit and how it would best serve senior IT executives with Pan-European operations. In the mean time, we will continue to place focus on our larger events, and support each other in these efforts where appropriate.
We thank you for your support and patronage as we move forward.
Sincerely,
Ulrich Spaan
