The annual Leaders Summit Breakfast, which brings together retail heavyweights to discuss the state of the industry, is fast approaching.

A panel discussion over breakfast will include Paul Fletcher, parliamentary secretary to the Minister for Communications and great advocate of digital entrepreneurship and technology, Anna McPhee, CEO of the Retail Council, Richard Umbers, CEO of Myer, and Kate Morris, founder of Adore Beauty.

Attendees will have the opportunity to choose the topics of conversation, and ask the panel (and each other) any question they wish. Much of the discussion will be about the state of the retail industry in Australia, what lies ahead, and what the government and our retailers can do to innovate and boost productivity.

Trevor Evans, CEO of the NRA, Russell Zimmerman of the ARA as well as Paul Greenberg of NORA will be attending the event.

The breakfast will take place from 7am–8.45am on the July 22, just prior to the opening of Online Retailer, the leading retail conference and expo held annually in Sydney.

Following the breakfast, every Leaders Summit attendee is invited to take advantage of complimentary VIP access and front row seating to the keynote opening speeches of Online Retailer Conference by Paul Fletcher MP, Andy Dunn, Founder and Executive Chairman, Bonobos Inc. USA, and Mark Dougan, MD ANZ, Frost & Sullivan.
