The biggest and most important retail industry event in the country—the National Retail Conference and Stores Asia Expo—will be back for its 27th edition this year as industry players pursue a new roadmap that will trigger a “retail reboot” for the new normal.
The virtual 27th NRCE, which will showcase experts who will share ways to shape a collective vision to drive innovation and achieve sustainability goals while transitioning to a better normal, is organized by the Philippine Retailers Association and slated on Aug. 12 and 13.
“Retailers are now faced with questions like: how do you curate your strategies to help your business move forward? How do you launch an innovation? How do you turn your company’s weaknesses into strengths to withstand all the difficulties a crisis could bring? These are just some of the challenges that we will try to address at this year’s NRCE,” said PRA president Rosemarie Bosch Ong, who’s also the senior executive vice president and chief operating officer of Wilcon Depot Inc.
