The new retail paradigm: The retail landscape is rapidly shifting. Shelf space is in hot demand, private labels are on the rise and innovation is do or die. It’s life or death out there. While it many feel like you’re treading quicksand, not everyone is sinking. Others are thriving and seeing their market share and revenue grow exponentially. Our successful manufacturers show you how to rise to the challenge of the new retail paradigm.

Private label contracts – avoiding the five key pitfalls: The private label phenomenon continues to grow exponentially as retailers seek to diversify their range. This session will help you understand, embark on, and manage the private label supply chain to capitalise on this growing trend.

Think different, design different, deliver progress – avoid building a new old facility: With increasing pressure from market and industry forces to innovate, food manufacturers are quickly being left in the dark, using antiquated production methods. The future of food facilities and manufacturing relies upon savvy investment and rigid project control methodologies, without which the Australian food production industry is set for failure.
PANEL DISCUSSION: Success in the retail environment isn’t as simple as producing a flashy product and slapping on some ‘loud’ packaging. It’s the result of careful analysis, crafting a strategy, implementation, measurement and then re-adjustment. Our panel of manufacturers, industry experts and suppliers debate the key commercial, manufacturing and supply chain factors most likely to reap success.
