Retail World has been running in Australia since 2008 and has become the country's largest national gathering of senior-level executives and managers from within the retail industry. It is also Australia's only independently organised conference and trade show - not aligned to
any association, industry body or media owner.


This level of autonomy encourages participation from
all segments of the retail industry; and ensures the conference agenda is focused on delivering only
relevant, useful and timely information and insights, in
a completely professional, unbiased and neutral way.

Retail World is held over 3 information-packed days, consisting of a conference + trade show + workshops + city tour + dinner + awards. The entire event alternates on an annual basis between Sydney and Melbourne. In 2012 we move back to Melbourne.

Retail World has a reputation for hosting the most senior-level, hard to reach and influential C-level speakers - all prepared to impart with some of their knowledge and wisdom - giving you invaluable insights and inspiration for achieving retail excellence. These speakers are meticulously selected from the highest echelons of the retail industry in Australia, USA, Europe and Asia.

The conference is strictly closed to the press, encouraging speakers to talk more freely and frankly.

Attendance at Retail World guarantees a solid and up-to-the-minute understanding of the retailing landscape - enabling better practice and exceptional returns.
