Australia's biggest retailing expo - where the future of retail is revealed
The retail industry is shaped by innovative ideas and the companies who create them. This huge industry event attracts over 5000 retailers and shop fitters. It is your chance to meet them face to face and generate new business opportunities.
A growing industry
Australia's leading retail industry exhibition and conference is expanding to cover everything retail. With the support and resources of Diversified Exhibitions - the global leaders in trade exhibitions - and the support of the Australian Retailers Association and Australian Shop and Office Fitting Industry Association Retail Expo is set to be an even bigger, better and broader event!
To help match buyers and sellers Retail Expo is organised into six exciting product areas.
Retail Technology Zone
Technology is at the heart of retailing and the Retail Technology Zone is at the core of the Expo. This is 2008's best venue for launching products and services or testing out bright, innovative ideas in the marketplace.
Research tells us that this year the Retail Technology Zone will attract increasing numbers of Retail IT Professionals, POS Specialists, Business Analysts, CIOs and owners. These high quality visitors are looking for sophisticated systems that integrate with the supply chain, loss prevention, financial and back office systems. Creative technologies are also in demand, including tools for retail design, customer service advertising and in-store marketing.
Shopfit & Design Zone
In today's highly sophisticated, highly competitive retailing climate, successful operators deliver a total experience for customers. And that experience begins with store design and fit. Which is why Shopfit & Design is not just a key focus of the exhibition, it will be one of the hottest zones in 2008.
Security Zone
Loss prevention is a huge issue for retailers. Visitors are looking for security suppliers and consultancy. Exhibit in this zone if you supply CCTV, alarms, manpower and security services, perimeter security, alarms, access controls, safes/cash in transit and electronic article surveillance.
Business Services Zone
Retailers are considerable consumers of Business Services. And, with business owners/directors or senior managers making up 63% of our visitor pool, the Retail Expo is a great place for you to generate real leads. Professional services in demand will include accountancy, legal, human resources, financial services, leasing and property, advertising, in-store marketing and supply chain.
Signage Zone
Our visitors know that if you get the signage right, you've removed a major barrier to sales. The Signage Zone offers a showcase for interior and exterior signage solutions, from traditional handcrafting to electronic and retro styles.
Green Design
New to the expo this year is our Green design area, with customers demanding environmentally friendly stores, the green area will connect suppliers with forward thinking retailers.
