ECRA Annual Supplier and Retailer Convention

27 August 2015
Intercontinental Double Bay, Sydney Australia

Each year since 2009, the  Efficient Consumer Response Australasia Retailer and Supplier Convention has brought together leaders from across the fast moving consumer goods industry to examine, discuss and debate the current and emerging issues impacting our industry both locally and globally.

Changes to the business environment have been increasingly disruptive for FMCG companies ... and there’s probably even greater disruption yet to come. The enormous challenges of the current financial reality; soft consumer sentiment; food safety and security concerns; supply chain risks; and an increasingly competitive market are impacting how we view our industry and how our joint consumer views our businesses.

The changing way shoppers engage with one another and with companies, coupled with the role and impact of key influencers, provides new opportunities, threats and realities.

  • Why is it that consumers trust each other more than retailers and brands?
  • How do our businesses better meet shopper needs and answer the question "who can I trust?"?
  • How do we as trading partners deliver real value by collaborating to deliver real benefits within a framework of trust? 

The 2015 ECRA Supplier and Retailer Convention explored these themes and much more. Convention delegates gained insight to the challenges and opportunities ahead, and to real world strategies through interactive discussions and content rich sessions addressing the critical industry issues. 

Whether you were able to attend or not the Convention Report for 2015 provides a summary of the essential key takeaways and insights into the passion to do well that was evident to all of those who attended.
