The Third Annual Efficient Consumer Response Australasia Supplier and Retailer Convention was held at the Amora Jamison Hotel in Sydney on 27-28 October 2011. Over 160 delegates took the opportunity to view presentations from local and international fast moving consumer goods (FMCG)  industry experts and to network with colleagues, peers and business partners. 

The title of the convention “Rising to the Challenge of a New Retail Landscape” encapsulated the key theme over the two days – recognising that the next decade in FMCG/Retail will look very different to the previous, and considering the issues and opportunities this will bring from both a global and local perspective, and from both the retailer and supplier points of view. 

The Board of ECRA expresses its thanks to all speakers and organisers, and particularly to the delegates for making this year’s convention a success. ECRA looks forward to continuing to fulfill its role as the only industry body that brings together suppliers, retailers and wholesalers to promote industry-wide initiatives in the value chain that deliver benefits to the industry and the shopper.
