RAU Expo 2026: Key insights from the giftmall team
On the 10th and 11th of June, Kyiv hosted RAU Expo 2026, Ukraine’s specialist exhibition for the retail sector, shopping centres, property development and FMCG manufacturers. Every year, this event serves as a hub for new ideas, projects and business development opportunities. This year was no exception. Let’s hear what our colleagues have to say about the event.
The RAU Expo has come and gone. It was a large-scale and extremely productive event, featuring numerous important meetings and discussions.
Head of Business Development, giftmallThe giftmall team was delighted to be an integral part of this business hub.
Our colleagues noted the willingness of event participants, including our current partners, to engage in dialogue. They exchanged experiences and ideas that are already inspiring us to move forward.
Key Account Manager, giftmallIt’s really valuable to meet the people you speak to on the phone every day and work on projects with, even if it’s just on the other side of the screen. And it’s also a chance to make new connections, find new ideas and explore new avenues for collaboration.
The lively interactions among participants and the inspiring and informative talks by the speakers demonstrated the resilience of businesses and the flexibility of modern approaches to development. For giftmall, these were very productive and eventful days.
Partnership Manager, giftmallTime and again, I find that the best ideas don’t come from email exchanges, but from face-to-face conversations over a cup of coffee or whilst walking between the stands
Our team has returned from the forum with new contacts, interesting insights and the confidence that there are many exciting projects ahead. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Association of retailers of Ukraine for such an interesting and productive event.
