We’re shaping the future of retail 

Our annual sell-out event, ARA x NRA Leaders Forum will return to ICC Sydney on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 February 2026 for a two-day program focused on the trends, opportunities and challenges shaping the Australian retail sector.

This is your chance to showcase thought leadership, innovation and best practice to retail decision-makers.

Building on the success of last year’s event, Leaders Forum 26 will: 

> Highlight emerging retail trends and insights for the year ahead 

> Facilitate interactive knowledge sharing through panels, keynotes and interviews

> Offer product exhibition opportunities to connect directly with senior leaders

> Provide premium networking events to strengthen partnerships 

The Leaders Forum isn’t just an event; it’s a strategic advantage. Sponsors gain unparalleled access to senior retail decision-makers, the ability to showcase innovation, and the chance to be part of industry-shaping conversations.
