This year’s C&I Expo, set to take place from 29-30 October at MCEC Melbourne, features an industry symposium not to be missed.
The lineup of speakers will provide unique insights into how businesses, both retailers and suppliers, can implement changes to stay at the forefront of convenience retailing, with presentations touching on future trends, innovations, and data.
Theo Foukkare, CEO of the Australian Association of Convenience Stores (AACS), says the Symposium is a great opportunity for businesses to educate themselves on what is happening in the industry.
“There’s always a fantastic lineup of knowledgeable speakers who provide insights into the latest innovations, trends, and happenings in the channel, and this year proves no different. I would highly recommend attendees get down there early and potentially pick up some wisdom that can help them improve their stores and businesses.
“I believe that retailers should take every opportunity to hear insights from thought leaders, as their next big idea or project might just come from something they hear on the day.”
