(Clarendon Auditorium, Melbourne Convention &
Exhibition Centre)
Hosted by AACS, the AACS Leadership Summit has rapidly
become the premier think tank for the industry’s leaders. For the
first time AACS has opened this prestigious event to all delegates
to C&I 2016 and suppliers and retailers who are not members of
AACS are invited to attend.
Host: Jeff Rogut, CEO of AACS.
Speakers “Inspiring Change”:
Every year, young aspirants in the industry are invited to make a
written submission of a specified industry subject. For this year
the topic is, “In light of increasing competition, particularly from
supermarkets, pharmacies, dollar stores and low price retailers,
how can convenience stores enhance value in order to generate
profitable and sustainable growth?”
In the weeks before the judging a panel of four expert judges culls
the entrants down to a final six, each of whom will make a personal
presentation before the audience at C&I 2016. The presentations
are always innovative, refreshing and thought provoking. AACS
retail members and associate members will then cast their votes
and the two winners will be announced at the Gala Awards Dinner
that evening. For the first time, all delegates to C&I 2016 are
invited to attend.
Admission is free.
