It’s back! The Retail Exhibition and Conference is coming back to Sydney. It will be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre from 24-26 September.

The Retail Expo will be co-locating with The Marketing at Retail Expo 2012, PrintWorks 2012 and the Visual Impact Image Expo 2012.  All four shows combined will feature around 350 exhibitors and attract over 5,000 visitors from the retail industry.  It will be the place where retailers go to ensure they remain competitive.

"It's a chance for both online and offline retailers to congregate and see what some of the latest solutions are on the market, which they could potentially use to help improve their business,” Melanie Robertson, Interpoint Events marketing manager, says.

“This might include inspirations of how to bring retail theatre to a new level, through to how retailers can create a seamless omni-channel experience for customers.”

"We are confident Retail 2012 Conference will be just as successful as it was last year when the event was held in Melbourne. It's a space for retail experts to talk and share their experiences with fellow industry peers in the hope they will walk away and apply what is spoken about to their business," Robertson says.
