Professionals from across the retail display and design sector came together for a networking evening in London on 14 April, following the first day of the VM & Display Show 2026.
Hosted by SDEA (Shop & Display Equipment Association), 365 Retail and the Creative Retail Awards, the event took place on the rooftop at Bubba Oasis, overlooking the Business Design Centre. It gave attendees the opportunity to connect with colleagues and peers in a more relaxed setting away from the exhibition floor.

The evening was supported by Antalis, candee.bio, Genesis Mannequins, Kesslers London, Mega Creative, N-Fuze, Northbanks and RetailWise, whose backing helped facilitate the event.
The VM & Display Show 2026 took place on 14 and 15 April at the Business Design Centre in London.
Further information about SDEA membership is available from the association’s website, while details about the awards can be found through the Creative Retail Awards.
