Why sponsor the Leaders Forum 26?
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.
