There is less than two weeks to go for the C&I Expo.

In a first for the Convenience & Impulse Convention & Expo, being held in Sydney, the first 500 visitors each day will receive one of 1,000 free sample bags packed with new products.

There will also be extensive sampling on the 120 show stands and suppliers will be offering numerous one-off Expo Deals to encourage retailers to place orders at the Expo. Admission to the Expo is free.

Almost nine out of every ten visitors who have already registered online to attend the 2015 C&I Convention & Expo have opted to attend the Convention Sessions on the mornings of Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th of March before the Expo opens each day at mid-day. Each session will feature three expert industry speakers who will be grappling with the vexing question of where the convenience industry will be in five to ten years’ time. MC will be AACS Executive Director, Jeff Rogut. Admission to the convention sessions is free.

Visitors can register online here or just turn up and register at the door. But visitors wishing to attend any of the functions would be wise to register in advance as places are often limited.

Parking is plentiful and Vodafone has laid on mini trackless trains to whisk visitors from the carparks to the Expo.

The 2015 Convenience & Impulse Convention & Expo will be held at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush on Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 March.
