Completely Retail Marketplace is a series of events that take place across multiple countries, where retail and leisure brands meet and network with a diverse range of property agents, landlords, shopping centre owners, franchise operators and organisations to discuss the market and opportunities for space.
The format of the show is stripped-back for optimum effectiveness. All the exhibition stands are the same size to enable a level playing field. Exhibitors and visitors meet, network, exchange market insight and requirements, set up deals, then leave in a better, more-connected position than before they went in, simple.
All delegates working directly for a brand can attend for free and can benefit from a monetary contribution towards flights if arriving from overseas*.
Created by Dom Millar, CEO of The Completely Group, the Marketplace format was initially conceived to help the struggling 2012 UK retail industry get back on its feet.
The first event in London facilitated not only new connections between retailers and property professionals, but also the accelerated acquisition of new bricks and mortar stores, pop-ups, kiosks and pretty much any other creative space you can think of.
Today, Completely Retail Marketplace has a dedicated team of event management, marketing, sales and international specialists, who offer a personalised, expert service to ensure every delegate benefits from the show and meets the right people.
Marketplace now operates in London, Stockholm, Madrid and Prague.
“We had another excellent day at CRMP UK in October 2019, an event which has become an integral part of our networking strategy every year. As well as planned meetings, we get a lot from the ad hoc chats on the floor as we circulate the hall during the course of the day. We are delighted to be a joint sponsor of the event and look forward to continuing our association with CRMP for many years to come.”

“Completely Retail Marketplace continues to excel in providing a ‘must do’ event for anyone active in the retail and leisure sectors. The format is simple but so well organised, that it is highly effective and quite clearly the result of a team effort.”

“Completely Retail Marketplace is one of the industry events that we make sure we attend every year. There is a lot of opportunity in the fast-moving retail property industry, and these events offer an ideal setting to meet and network with the right agents, developers and land owners.”

“CRMP was an ideal event to network with the retail and shopping centre industry. I had the opportunity to promote our brand, Giordano, on the Soapbox stage and was very impressed with the turnout. The event was well organised and offered a platform for me to connect, learn, share and promote our brand to the Scandinavian market.”
