This year, the theme of the 20th edition of Siec will be "Gathering". Bringing together the ecosystem of players in the retail sector, a sector that has become resolutely omnichannel, where the physical store is regaining its raison d'être after being buried in favor of e-commerce. "Physical retail sites have become catalysts for social ties and tools for regional development," summed up Arnaud Gallet, Director of Siec, on the BiTV set.
