Global DIY summit

The home improvement sector is undergoing accelerated transformation, shaped by geopolitical volatility, economic uncertainty, climate challenges, shifting consumer behaviours, and the rise of digital and AI-driven innovation. The 12th Global DIY-Summit will explore how these forces are redefining our industry — from new engines of growth and data-driven retail models to sustainability collaboration, retail media, marketplaces, and the evolution of the Pro customer.

Throughout the Summit, participants will hear from global CEOs, economists, innovators, and sustainability leaders who are shaping the future of our sector. Keynotes, executive panels, and strategic dialogues will address the industry’s most urgent priorities:

• Digital foundations and AI.
• Climate-resilient and decarbonised business models.
• Retail media and data-driven value creation.
• Organisational culture, leadership, and the human factor.
• Long-term global market perspectives and new growth opportunities.

Complemented by a 3-day exhibition, curated store tour, and high-level networking events, the Summit provides a unique environment for learning, collaboration, and commercial development. Attendees will gain strategic insight, forge new partnerships, and discover the tools required to build resilient, future-ready organisations in an increasingly complex world.

As we convene in Amsterdam, one of Europe’s most innovative and globally connected cities, the 12th Global DIY-Summit promises an inspiring and forward-looking experience. Join us as we collectively shape the next chapter of the global DIY, home improvement, and garden industry.
