With the retail landscape continually changing, it’s important for businesses to stay up to date with the latest technology, trends and products to ensure they remain relevant.
This year’s Online Retailer Sydney is a great opportunity for the retail industry to learn, exchange ideas, share industry trends, shape connections and walk away with the right tools and information to help you work smarter.
Held at the ICC Sydney Exhibition Centre at Darling Harbour from 26-27 July, the event focuses on the latest in ecommerce technology, digital marketing and clever retailing solutions as well as global trends and challenges.
“The event will see a highly-esteemed line-up of new speakers delving into extremely current themes, including artificial intelligence, mobile innovation, sustainable ecommerce business models, the future of omnichannel retailing and digitally-enabled retailing both online and offline,” says Online Retailer event director, Alice Kuepper.
