Topics of the conference will cover new trends in retailing, branding design, future of shopping malls, creating a niche in the diverse market, online retailing, fashion retailing, the impact of music in the marketplace, food retailing, and engaging the millennial consumers.
Speakers and presenters include FILSCAP Vice president and noted TV personality and musician Jim Paredes, Zalora CEO Paolo Campos, Google Philippines Marketing Manager Gabby Roxas, Springtime Design Limited Creative, and Managing Director Chris Dingcong, and Organization Development Advisor Susan Grace Rivera.
Two panels composed of young and upcoming retailers such as Apartment 8 President Sheira Lim, Sunnies Café Finance Director Eric Dee Jr. and Genki Sushi Owner Eric Teng will discuss the new generation of retailers and food retail as mall anchors.
New for this year’s NRCE is the launch of the Supermarket Track dedicated to supermarkets and food retailers which will discuss modern retailing with a responsive Department of Trade, spatial planning, and supermarket trends in Asia Pacific.
