WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF RETAILING IN AUSTRALASIA?

This is the only event of its kind to bring together, on one stage, such a high calibre of speakers to address the future of the Australasian retail sector. The Australasian retail landscape will change more over the next five years than it has in the previous 25 years. It is a time of uncertainty, threats and opportunities for everyone involved.

Peter Wilkinson, CEO, Australian Discount Retail,
Will Soulsby, Head of Insights, Woolworths,
Warren Wilmot, CEO, 7-Eleven,
Stephen Kulmar, CEO, Idea Works and
Richard Barwick, Consumer Analyst, Morgan Stanley
will take the platform to look at the global trends, successes and failures drawing on their expertise in the industry to identify the cause and the way forward for retailing in Australia, New Zealand and beyond.

Hear from the industry leaders in retail strategy in a one day conference that will address:

  • The impact of consumer fragmentation at retail
  • How foreign entrants will (and wont) change the playing field
  • How local operators will (and wont) respond to marketplace changes
  • A reconsideration of how retail brands are developed and how shoppers expectations are changing
  • How leading FMCG brands should consider retail partnerships and brand building in-store

Highlights of the conference include:

  • How leading retailers are leveraging better conversations with shoppers
  • How these conversations are more powerful than house brands to developing loyalty with shoppers
  • How leading FMCG companies are positioning to benefit, rather than suffer, from enhanced retailer branding
  • How a more competitive retail landscape will benefit most parties, notably consumers
  • How foreign retail business models work and how to align with them

What delegates will gain:

  • A clear understanding of how to enhance loyalty with core shoppers
  • Tools and frameworks to make this happen
  • Exhaustively researched forecasts for market and retail growth (and the why behind it)
