The Power Stage Sessions

Dates
17 - 18 MARCH 2026
Location
ICC Sydney

Competition for customers is fierce. And the need to keep costs under control while innovating can seem like an insurmountable challenge. That's where the Power Sessions come in.

Designed to load you up with tips, strategies and tools you can start using in-store right away, you'll learn how to increase footfall, grow basket spend, maximise your footprint, and improve your bottom line. We also look at the critical issues of staff selection and retention, and how to keep your people and premises safe.

Our presenters are all leaders in their fields, chosen for their expertise. Delivered in short 20 or 30-minute blocks, you can attend as many sessions as you like over the course of the Expo.

The program is free to attend and seating at the Power Stage is unreserved. To assist with our capacity planning, please nominate the topics that interest you most when you register for the show. The categories and themes you’ll be able to explore could include:-
