MARCH 2024
March 2024: the core became the Club of 369.
In March 2024, the professional core around Retail Summit gained a shared identity: the Club of 369.
Its first members were the speakers, moderators and panelists who brought Retail Summit 2024 to life. What had already grown through recurring relationships now had a name that could carry beyond one Summit.
Giving the core a name made it possible to build more deliberately around what was already there.

BEFORE THE NAME
The core came first. The name came later.
Our history began before the Club had a name.
For years, many of us kept meeting at Retail Summit as speakers, moderators, panelists and active participants from across retail and consumer goods. We recognised familiar faces, continued conversations from earlier editions and returned with new experience to share.
Over time, those recurring relationships became part of the professional core around Retail Summit.
Before there was a Club of 369, there was already a core.

BETWEEN SUMMITS
What began at Retail Summit kept going.
As the same people kept meeting, more of what connected us continued between Summits. We stayed in touch, met again through dinners, preparations and smaller discussions, and continued questions that had started on the stages or around them.
Retail Summit remained the moment that brought us together, while the relationships around it became increasingly continuous.
By the time the Club received its name, there was already something worth naming.

YEAR-ROUND RHYTHM
The Club found its year-round rhythm.
Once the Club had a name, we could begin building more deliberately between Retail Summits.
Advisory Committees gave us a structured way to bring experience into the development of the next Summit. Meetings, workshops and dinners created more opportunities to meet, compare perspectives and continue relationships throughout the year. As Circles developed, we gained clearer professional places from which to connect our own work with questions elsewhere in the business.
Gradually, the Club became easier to take part in throughout the year, while Retail Summit remained the moment when much of that energy came together live.

TODAY
Today, the Club gives more of us a place in the core.
Today, selected professionals from retail, consumer goods and closely related market-side companies across Poland and Central and Eastern Europe have a clear way into the professional core that grew around Retail Summit.
We can begin through the Circle closest to our work, build relationships throughout the Club year and become involved in ways that fit our experience and interests. For some, that develops into the Advisory Committee or a role as a panelist, moderator or speaker. For others, the value lies in the conversations, perspectives and connections around the Club itself.
As the Club became more clearly defined as the market-side community, it also became clearer that solution providers needed their own place. That thinking later took shape in the 369DI Solution Providers Hub.
Today, the Club and the Hub bring two different professional perspectives into the wider 369DI Compass, while each keeps its own identity and role.
Retail Summit remains our principal annual gathering, while the Club gives these relationships a place to continue and grow throughout the year. With every cycle, new people and perspectives become part of the core and help shape what comes next.
