ABOUT CRA2023

Get ready to celebrate innovation and excellence in the retail industry at the thrilling Creative Retail Awards! Hosted by the Shop & Display Equipment Association and Retail Focus, this annual event recognizes the best in retail design, technology, lighting, and more, as judged by a panel of industry leaders and experts.

Join us for a night of networking and celebration as we bring together retailers, suppliers, and designers for a Prosecco reception, live music, canapes and food, entertainment, and a DJ set that will keep the party going into the early morning hours.

And thatʼs not all - the night also includes a light and sound show, performance artists, and a high roller casino.

Donʼt miss out on this dynamic event, book your VIP booths now before they sell out. This is not your typical gala dinner - itʼs an event that promises to be a night to remember!

On behalf of the Creative Retail Awards team I would like to thank you for your interest and I look forward to working with you over the coming months.

CRA23 X LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL The Awards are a partner of The London Design Festival, celebrating and promoting London as the design capital of the world. The schedule includes the Global Design Forum, exhibitions including 100% Design, Focus/20 and a whole host of design programmes throughout the capital. Alongside The Creative Retail Awards, London Design Festival is supported by a number of institutions such as the Mayor of London, British Land, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

ABOUT LDF: London Design Festival was launched by Sir John Sorrell CBE and Ben Evans CBE in 2003. Building on Londonʼs existing design activity, their concept was to create an annual event that would promote the cityʼs creativity, drawing in the countryʼs greatest thinkers, practitioners, retailers and educators to deliver an unmissable celebration of design. The launch of the first Festival took place at Bloomberg on 25 March 2003, with a huge show of support from design, education, government and London organisations. 19 years later, this vision remains ever strong.
