Opening World Retail Lab Asia in style

The opening reception marks the start of World Retail Lab Asia, bringing together retailers, brands and industry leaders from across the globe.

It’s an opportunity to continue the conversation in a more relaxed setting, making new connections, catching up with colleagues and sharing perspectives on the opportunities shaping Asian retail.

Enjoy an evening of canapés, drinks and informal networking, alongside panoramic views across Hong Kong, as we come together to officially open the Lab.

The Brand Conviction Index is the first independently verified ranking of Asia's most believed-in retailers — built on more than 70,000 consumer interviews across 11 Asian markets and 12 months of continuous data, powered by YouGov BrandIndex.

It measures not just who is shopping with a brand, but who recommends it without being asked and who intends to return. The brands on this list did not apply. They did not submit data. They were ranked purely by consumer behaviour, verified independently over 12 months. It cannot be bought. It can only be earned.

Brand conviction is earned, not bought.
