Expect honest conversation, idea sharing, and hear from retailers who are pioneering growth with grocery delivery.
Hear From Industry Leaders
We’re excited to feature speakers from both the convenience store industry and the rapidly evolving q-commerce sector. These industry experts will share valuable insights, trends, and best practices, giving retailers direct access to cutting-edge knowledge and strategies shaping the future of retail.
Whether it's innovations in last-mile delivery or shifts in consumer buying behaviour, attendees will gain actionable intelligence to stay competitive and make informed business decisions.
Celebrate Success
To celebrate the achievements of retailers across the industry, the day will conclude with a special awards dinner. This evening event will recognise outstanding contributions, innovation and excellence within the retail sector, offering a chance to shine a spotlight on those making a real impact.
It will also be a fantastic opportunity to unwind, enjoy a meal, and connect with peers in a more informal and celebratory setting.
