The organisers of the Home & Gift trade show have announced the launch of Harrogate @ Home. The comprehensive online programme will support, celebrate and champion the retail industry throughout this difficult period.

As well as a series of blog articles by retail experts and exhibitors, Harrogate @ Home will include fortnightly webinars. The programme will then culminate with a three-day virtual event on 20-22 July.

Registrants will have exclusive access to product launches and seminar sessions fronted by the show’s network of leading speakers.

Commenting is show director, Kelly Grant. “Home & Gift, much like the retail industry it serves, has always been a show about people. It is our mission to continue to bring our beloved industry together and champion it through shared learnings and genuine connection; even in the face of adversity.

“Following the disappointing announcement that we had to postpone this year’s edition of the show, we wanted to ensure that the buying, networking and learning opportunities that many turn to Home & Gift for could still be accessible in some way.

“We hope that Harrogate @ Home provides our community of retailers and brands with the resources, connections and support needed to navigate these trying times and to keep looking ahead.”

Harrogate @ Home kicks off on Tuesday 5 May at 9.30am. It will launch with an industry-leading webinar by Google Digital Garage on how to design a standout digital marketing strategy. To register or for further information on the programme, please click here.
