World class speakers to inspire retailers with new ideas at NRCE
The 26th National Retail Conference and Stores Asia Expo (NRCE), the biggest and most important retail event in the country, will again bring in some of the world’s luminaries and experts in retail leadership and marketing on Aug. 15-16, 2019 at the SMX Convention Center Manila.
Two world class speakers will share their knowledge on leadership practice in the biggest retail group in the world and shed light on the neuroscience of successful retail marketing.
Technology evangelist Jesus Vega will serve as keynote speaker and will share best practices in people management and leadership. The Spain-based advisor and speaker has worked as managing director for Zara-Inditex, the biggest fashion retail group in the world.
During his time with Zara, Vega contributed to the clothing giant’s IPO and to the opening of thousands of new stores in various parts of the world. At Zara, he also helped launch new brands and formats including Oysho and Uterqüe.
US-certified neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) practitioner Ben Ampil will also grace this year’s NRCE to discuss the neuroscience of successful retail marketing. NLP is a management tool widely used by Fortune 500 Companies and world-class celebrities and athletes.
The Filipino motivational speaker and seasoned executive has over 20 years experience in various cross-functional disciplines of general management, operations, corporate planning, sales and marketing, and business development.
NRCE 2019 overall chairman and Robinsons Land president Frederick Go said that NRCE is the Philippine Retailers Association’s commitment to provide the industry with updated knowledge and insights to help them in their business.
“As an event of retailers, by retailers, and for the retailers, we have the capacity to curate topics that are relevant and upto-date to guide our fellow retailers with the right tool amidst disruptions and changes we face in the industry,” Go said.
NRCE is the biggest and the longest-running retail event in the country, organized by the PRA.
