INSIGHTS by Omnium is the annual gathering where retailers come together to think out loud, challenge each other, and get an honest read on where commerce is heading.

This year, Stadium and Coop will take the stage alongside other retailers building modern commerce at scale. Real cases from retailers doing the actual work. Honest conversations, sharp thinking, and an atmosphere that makes you remember why you love this industry. Good people, great energy, and a day that genuinely delivers.

350 people. Ambassaden Eventspace, central Oslo. Conference, rooftop afterwork, seated dinner. All in one building, all in one day.

Last year people were still talking about it months later. This year, we're looking forward to welcoming everyone joining us.

Fragmentation and connection — the future of in-store retail

One of the most compelling voices in retail today. Named a RETHINK Retail Top Retail Expert three years running and an NRF Retail Voice for 2025, Jack has spent 15 years cutting through the noise on consumer behaviour and the future of physical retail. His talk, "Fragmentation and connection — the future of in-store retail", looks at how shopping habits are more fragmented than ever, how the best brands are adapting their stores, and how technology is both disrupting and supporting retail.
