ARC x Relex Boardroom Lunch

Join the Australian Retail Council and Relex for an exclusive Boardroom Lunch.

Retail is entering a new era of margin pressure, increasing promotional intensity and accelerated AI adoption – and the rules are changing fast.

You’re invited to join a select group of senior retail leaders at The Botanical for an exclusive lunch discussion, proudly brought to you by Relex, exploring what’s truly driving profitability in today’s market, and where AI is delivering meaningful commercial value versus noise.

 
As margins come under increasing pressure, customers become more promotion-driven and private labels continue to shift the landscape, retailers are also navigating the rapid rise of AI – often before the right foundations are in place.
 
Featuring expert speaker Trent Rigby, Director RC Advisory, this discussion is designed to cut through the noise and focus on what’s genuinely working, including:
  • What’s changed in promotions and pricing over the past 12-18 months
  • Whether current measurement truly reflects margin impact
  • Where promotion planning breaks down
  • Where AI is delivering real value (and where it isn’t)
  • What separates retailers getting it right

Please RSVP by Friday 12 June as places are limited.
