The 2024 C&I Expo is just over a month away and is the perfect place for retailers to discover new trends and secure exclusive on-the-spot deals.
With exhibitors spanning every category and service a retailer could need, from the latest F&B innovations, fresh food, display solutions, cooking and refrigeration equipment, forecourt technology, payment systems, gifts and accessories, there is something there for every retailer.
Retailers can make their way around MCEC Melbourne on 29-30 October sampling and sourcing goods and services from the over 100 exhibitors that can elevate their stores.
Safa de Valois, Group Publisher at C&I Media, said he has seen some stunning deals being made on the floor of the expo in previous years.
“I’ve seen retailers get bargains here that they wouldn’t have got unless they met that supplier face to face. And suppliers are often more than happy to dish out an exclusive offer if they can secure new retailers. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.”
The expo floor isn’t the only place retailers can gain insights to further their business, there is also an industry symposium each morning with a host of knowledgeable speakers ready to impart their wisdom and expertise.
Last but not least, there is the chance to win exclusive tickets to AACS Connect 25, the industry’s largest educational Summit and Gala Awards night.
The annual AACS Connect Summit is a members-only event and attracts over 600 delegates who receive the detailed State of the Industry Report, leadership presentations on the latest retail trends, and insights into the future of the industry.
As well as attending the summit, the winner of the AACS Connect 25 Delegate Double Pass will gain access to convenience retail’s night of nights – the Black Tie Awards Gala – where AACS recognises the best of the best in terms of retailing and supplier partners.
The C&I Expo 2024 will take place on 29-30 October at MCEC Melbourne and is free for retailers to attend. Register here.
