Because hearing an idea is only part of the experience. Having time to question it, compare approaches and explore what it means for your business matters too.

Take a new home improvement product. Beyond its design, there are questions about how customers understand its benefits, choose the right option and get the advice they need to use it successfully.

Retailers, manufacturers and service providers bring different experience to those questions. Hearing how another business or another market approaches them can help you look at your own decisions differently.

🟣 That is why the Global DIY-Summit goes beyond.

- The conference brings industry perspectives and practical business experience into a shared programme.
- The Store Tour takes delegates into local stores to explore different retail formats first-hand.
- The exhibition gives delegates the opportunity to explore products, technologies and services directly with the companies behind them.
- Networking breaks, the Get-Together and Gala Dinner provide time to continue discussions, meet new contacts and strengthen existing relationships.

The purpose is to combine useful knowledge with access to people whose experience can add to your own and enough time to get beyond the introduction.

The Summit is organised by FEK GmbH, jointly owned by EDRA/GHIN - European DIY Retail Association / Global Home Improvement Network and HIMA Network, representing the retail and manufacturing sides of the industry.
