The Philippine Retailers Association (PRA) is gearing up to commemorate three decades of excellence with its flagship program – the National Retail Conference and Expo (NRCE) on August 29-30, 2024, at the SMX Convention Center Manila.
For 30 years, the NRCE has stood as the go-to platform for retailers and supplier industries to attain insights into the latest trends, innovations, and profound strategies, elevating their businesses to global competitiveness.
At the heart of the NRCE are its invaluable learning sessions, where visionary leaders from both local and international spheres converge to share their expertise. Spearheaded by NRCE 2024 Overall Chairman and COO of Blims Lifestyle Group, Mr. Greg Lim, Conference Chairman and Retail Leasing Consultant of Shangri-La Plaza Corporation, Mr. CJ Jesena, and Expo Chairman and CEO of Heritage Multi-Office Products, Ms. Mary Ang, this year’s NRCE promises to deliver unparalleled content.
Under the theme ‘Retail Today, Empowering Tomorrow,’ the NRCE underscores the retail sector’s unwavering role in driving global economic growth and fostering resilience and innovation. Despite challenges, the industry remains resilient, navigating through a dynamic retail landscape.
In the face of change, our commitment to pioneering transformations and strategic decision-making is paramount. By embracing innovation and fostering intergenerational learning, we empower retailers to excel in an ever-evolving ecosystem.
Marking the 30th NRCE are esteemed figures such as Mr. Hans Sy, Chairman of the Executive Committee of SM Prime Holdings, and his son, Mr. Chico Sy, President of SM Engineering Design & Development, who will share insights on “Legacy of Guidance: How My Father Shaped My Life.” Additionally, anticipate an inspiring closing keynote session from the President and CEO of Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC), Mr. Eugene Acevedo, on “Leading with Purpose.”
Complementing the NRCE is its twin-activity event – the Retail Solutions Asia (formerly Stores Asia Expo), a platform showcasing top-notch solutions for retailers and allied industries. It fosters connections, collaborations, and business opportunities, enabling industry players to achieve unprecedented success.
