On Monday, February 9, 2026, COSH! is organizing a community meet-up in Arnhem for stores and brands from the Netherlands and Belgium. A working session for entrepreneurs who want to look beyond individual campaigns and think together about the future of retail.
The choices you make as an entrepreneur affect much more than just one peak moment in the year. During this meet-up, we will reflect on what is changing towards 2026, how COSH! is developing in this regard, and how we can work together as a community to become stronger and more visible.
What can you expect?
Insight into what’s new at COSH!, presented by founder Niki de Schryver.
An overview of important changes for retail in 2026, such as:
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) (UPV)
Developments in AI and social media
Digital Product Passports (DPPs) within COSH!
An interactive brainstorming and working session on Black Friday / Check Friday 2026, led by Lan Lan Zhang, with room for input, questions, and ideas from the community.
This is not an inspirational event, but a practical coordination moment. You will meet other entrepreneurs who have similar questions and actively contribute ideas about joint steps towards 2026.
