Expo aims to create savvy retailers

This year’s international trade exhibition and conference for the retail industry kicks off September 14 with a focus on helping businesses better reach consumers.

RetailEx Asean 2017, co-located with Internet Retailing Expo Asean, will showcase in-store equipment and solutions in the largest event of its kind in Southeast Asia. Some 300 companies and brands will exhibit, and a new show feature is being introduced this year 
The Retail Live Future Concept Store Demonstration will showcase mockups of future retail stores with cutting-edge technology, said Loy Joon How, general manager of Impact Exhibition Management Co, Ltd.
The event expects some 5,000 visitors in search of one-stop solutions for retail shop fitting, retail technology and Internet retailing.
The way consumers shop is constantly evolving, said event organizers in a press release. Retailers need to adopt innovative, omnichannel strategies as shoppers are increasingly digital savvy and sophisticated. In the shift towards digital media, customer-centric and data-driven strategies have to be restructured to draw in new shoppers, retain existing customers and increase the bottom line.
RetailEX Asean 2017 is a comprehensive platform for the Asean retail industry and aims to be an effective platform for companies to access trade, networking and knowledge opportunities. 
The three-day show will be at Hall 4, Impact Exhibition and Convention Centre, Bangkok, Thailand.
