Every year, the retail industry descends upon Manhattan for the NRF Big Show trade fair. This January was the biggest in the fair’s 107-year history, with over 30,000 attendees. The big technology players were all there, smaller independents jostling for space alongside them, displaying their pre-eminence and innovations.

We caught up with leading industry figures to report on the key themes that are set to dominate the retail agenda in the year ahead.
