The Philippine Retailers Association (PRA), the national organization of retailers, shopping centers, and allied industries, is proud to announce the staging of its groundbreaking and largest retail industry event in the country – the National Retail Conference and Expo (NRCE).
For its 29th edition, the NRCE is even bigger and bolder, providing premier learning sessions from visionary and progressive industry leaders, along with a world-class exhibition to cater to their business needs and facilitate growth and success.
With “Retail Breakthrough” as its overarching theme, the NRCE 2023 Organizing Committee, led by Overall Chairman and Rustan Commercial President, Mr. Donnie Tantoco, along with NRCE 2023 Conference Chairman and Blims Lifestyle Group COO, Mr. Greg Lim, as well as NRCE 2023 Expo Chairmen, iRipple’s CEO, Ivan Lanuza, and SVP for Retail of The Expressions, Shirley Ng, firmly believe that retailers should be prepared to spread their wings, embrace the forthcoming wave of discoveries, learn new skills and competencies, and execute growth in retail breakthroughs.
This year’s headliners are undoubtedly a powerhouse. Ayala Land’s Director, Mariana Zobel de Ayala, will open the 29th NRCE with her captivating and impactful keynote session on “The Power of Women at the Forefront of Progress,” highlighting the transformative power of women’s representation and voices in the retail industry. Additionally, Jollibee’s Chief Business Officer, Joseph Tanbuntiong, a proud Filipino and global brand, will deliver an engaging and thought-provoking closing keynote session on “Rapid Expansion: Challenges and Opportunities in Managing Business Growth.” This session will bring into focus strategies for effectively managing rapid expansion in the ever-evolving business landscape, including investing in technology and infrastructure, cultivating a robust team and organizational culture, and fostering agility and adaptability.
Running parallel to the powerful conference is Retail Solutions Asia, formerly known as the Stores Asia Expo, a top-tier exhibition where seasoned and new retail suppliers showcase their world-class products and services. It serves as an opportunity for businesses to expand and increase their market reach. Retail Solutions Asia is a premier community where you can broaden your horizons, make valuable connections, and witness big ideas come to life.
