Brand founder, serial entrepreneur and digital broadcaster, Grace Beverley, is confirmed to headline at the 2026 Retail Technology Show (RTS), the leading event that connects Europe’s forward-thinking retailers with tech innovators.

Taking place on 22 & 23 April 2026 at London’s ExCeL, RTS will welcome 16,000+ senior retailers to the flagship event, showcasing insight from the vanguards of the retail sector alongside the cutting-edge tech that’s reshaping the market and keeping retailers at the forefront of innovation.

Founder of activewear brand TALA, fitness tech brand Shreddy and personal organisation brand The Productivity Method, Beverley is also Co-Founder of AI company Retrograd. She has a global following of over 3million people and has raised $14million+ in funding for TALA and Retrograde.

Launched in 2019, TALA creates activewear and athleisure from recycled and upcycled materials, offering accessible prices without compromising on fit or quality. Alongside its ecommerce DTC channel, Beverley has expanded the brand into physical retail, with the recent opening of TALA’s second store at Westfield London, which builds on the success of its first Carnaby Street destination.

An established speaker and podcast host, Beverley was first named in Forbes 30 Under 30’s retail and ecommerce list at just 23-years old. Speaking at RTS 2026, Beverley will draw on her wealth of experience of launching, running and growing successful multichannel brands, which operate across distinctly different sectors and connect with wide-ranging audiences.

“I’m excited to be speaking at the UK’s largest retail event where I’ll share how retailers can truly embrace the social and influencer opportunity and lessons learnt from moving from ecommerce success to opening stores,” commented Beverley. “I’ll also discuss how [to] capitalise on the importance of personalisation, and the big tech changes we’re likely to see in retail going forward.”

“Grace is an inspiring talent whose career spans multiple industries, and that breadth is exactly what makes her such a powerful voice for our community,” said Matt Bradley, Event Director at RTS.

“As a founder, creator and strategist, she brings a unique perspective on how brands can build real connection, harness culture and technology and operate with purpose in an increasingly competitive landscape,” Bradley continued. “We’re thrilled to welcome her as our first headline speaker for 2026.”

Beverley will join over 125+ of the industry’s brightest minds on stage at RTS 2026, which will see six tracks running across the two-day event.

Covering the most pressing topics and hottest debates shaping the sector – from AI and retail media to cyber security and online trading – RTS’ conference programme gives retailers the inside track and actionable insight they need to power performance across their businesses.
