Australian retailers have been slow to catch up with international competitive standards, and unfortunately eager Australian online shoppers have been turning to overseas sites over local retailers. Sadly, more than 45 percent of all online retail sales are currently going offshore from Australia. That's the bad news. The good news is momentum is building daily, and local retailers are fast waking up to the serious potential of selling online.

The industry’s major focal event, Online Retailer Expo & Conference, helps retailers build a better, more profitable e-retailing business. Attracting over 2,600 attendees, Online Retailer is ranked as one of the world’s largest retail events dedicated to web-based retailing. Featuring over 100 speakers from around the globe who are experienced e-retailers and e-commerce practitioners, attendees can expect to learn how to improve the performance of their retail website and online business.

The conference covers all e-retailing topics from technology, marketing, merchandising and customer experience to website design, fulfilment, operations and revenue growth. It teaches new methods and techniques and provides attendees with access to hard-to-get intelligence, new perspectives and industry knowledge from those truly in the know about the realities of e-retailing.

The Expo Hall, which is open to non-conference attendees with an Expo Pass, showcases all the tools and solutions retailers need to supercharge their retail websites and e-business operations.

For a complete list of exhibitors, speaker profiles, workshops, and full conference agenda, visit the event website at OnlineRetailer.net. You can also register on the website for your free Expo Pass, providing you register before 30 April.
