Retail Conference Offers Chance to Students

The Philippine Retailers Association (PRA) believes that students are key to continuing the growth of entrepreneurship in the country. As tomorrow's retailers and entrepreneurs, PRA offers students a rare chance to listen to experts on retail innovation, social media, customer behavior and trends, sustainable retailing, wealth management and best practices in HR at the upcoming 19th National Retail Conference and Stores Asia Expo (NRCE).

Graduating students may avail of a special rate of PhP 1,000 to attend the two-day conference in place of the regular conference rate of PhP 7,950. Open to graduating business, marketing and entrepreneurship students who are presently enrolled, the 19th NRCE will be held on 11-12 August 2010 at the SMX Convention Center, Bay Boulevard, Pasay City. Pre-registration is required for interested students.

Themed "The Roadmap to Retail Growth in the New Decade", NRCE is the biggest retail industry event in the country. It is attended by over 600 retail owners, CEOs and top level executives all over the country.

According to Mr. Martin Roll, NRCE's Guest of Honor, "Filipino entrepreneurs can well take advantage of a global readiness for the Asian brand".

This is the compelling insight coming from Roll, who, together with Jollibee's Tony Tan Caktiong, will keynote the country's biggest retail conference. Roll stated that the rise of the Asian middle class and the unfolding of the Asian myth among people of the West are among reasons behind this opportunity to grow distinct markets which go for the Asian brand. Roll was recently in town to begin a series of pre-conference visits.

Official newspaper is The Philippine STAR, official media partners are BusinessWorld, Entrepreneur, Retail in Asia, The Philippine Business News and Forum (online).
