 METCASH SUPERMARKETS & CONVENIENCE
EXPO AND IGA NATIONAL CONFERENCE 2018
     We continue our “Best Stores in Town” theme, and throughout the Expo and
 conference sessions we will explore ways that all independents can not only compete,
    but be “Proudly Independent” and successful in an increasingly tough market.

  What is it that your store needs to deliver to your community that will make you the
   best store in town – from barista coffee to fresh flowers, ready-to-eat meals to a
                                 gourmet deli offering?

 All of this layered with the individual character, service, and community involvement
 that an independent can offer like no one else, will put the heart and soul back into
                            the grocery shopping experience.

 IGA NATIONAL CONFERENCE SESSION – SUNDAY/MONDAY
  What a great line-up we have for you this year; the morning conference sessions should not be missed by anyone!

 We kick off with an opportunity to come together to create something great and a chance to network, so don’t be
 late. That should get you warmed up for what is to come for the next three days. The business sessions will provide
   the opportunity to be inspired by leading Australian and international speakers looking at world fads and trends,
  challenging change, and advocating for a safer social media environment and moving towards equality for women.
  This year we will be holding a Q&A session where retailers from all shapes and sizes will be on the stage to answer
             any question you may have, so send in your questions to: retailerengagement@metcash.com

     We are pretty sure you will leave this year motivated and ready for your store to be the “Best Store in Town”.
