One man... creating an International brand!
Peter Alexander is a true entrepreneur. Founder of 'Peter Alexander Sleepwear', Peter grew the company from a single man operation on his
living room table, to an internationally recognised sleepwear business and household name. At the peak of the business, when it was growing by 40% a year and having international success, Peter sold his company to the 'Just Group'. Today, he still manages the on-line part of the business.
The Peter Alexander story is both compelling and inspiring. At age 24, Peter decided to be his own boss. Like many before him, the start-up phase was difficult, so what did he do and how did he do it? What mistakes did he make,
what did he learn and would he do it all the same again? Are there 'secrets' to building brand loyalty? Clearly he has the answers.
This event will not only showcase the business acumen of an Australian business icon, but will also provide plentiful opportunities for attendees to network. Great RACV Accommodation door-prize also on offer! |

A GREENER AUSTRALIA LEADS TO AN ECO-RETAILER
Australian consumers are becoming more environmentally conservative, according to a recent study released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics*, and retailers are equally becoming more aware of the importance of adopting green practices for their businesses.
In response to this Retail Expo Australasia, 12-14 August 2008, Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, has launched an all new Eco Retailer zone to meet consumer demands for environmentally friendly retail outlets and practices.
Aiming to reduce the retail industry?s ecological footprint, the new Eco Retailer section will showcase the latest green innovations, concepts and strategies available in national and international markets.
?Because we are all consumers, retailers can?t afford to ignore the need to adopt environmentally considerate practices and services, as well as offer green products to their customers, regardless of whether they are huge department stores or independent outlets,? said Peter O?Flynn, Exhibition Manager, Retail Expo Australasia.
?Australians are fast becoming more environmentally aware and Retail Expo Australasia has responded to that with Eco Retailer to ensure retail industry members are at the forefront of their game.?
The Eco Retailer zone will feature alongside seven other key product areas, including Retail Technology Shopfitting and Store Design Security Technology Business Services Digital Signage and Visual Merchandising.
Returning to Sydney after two years in Melbourne, Retail Expo Australasia will feature more than 220 local and international exhibitors, many who will use the exhibition as a platform to launch new products, innovations and technologies.
With an anticipated 6,500 visitors, including key decision makers, buyers and managers, the exhibition is the must attend trade event for retailers who are keen to ensure their business is environmentally friendly, technologically savvy, aesthetically chic and constantly increasing profit margins.
Retail Expo Australasia will be held in conjunction with Australia?s premier retail conference National Retail Forum.

Financial skills seminars for women |

| Fee: | FREE |

The Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) and ANZ today announced a series of free financial skills seminars to be held in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide for women to help boost their confidence when dealing with money issues.
The ANZ Be Money Confident seminars will be held as part of the FPA's Financial Planning Week (FP Week)
The seminars have been developed following research by ANZ that revealed women generally have lower levels of confidence when making decisions about money. Almost two-thirds of women surveyed (62%) said they do not have a plan in place to achieve their financial goals because they felt 'overwhelmed' about their finances or 'did not know where to begin'.
FPA CEO, Ms Jo-Anne Bloch said it was important for women to feel confident when it comes to money, especially in this challenging economic environment.
Certified Financial Planners who are members of the FPA will present at the seminars in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide. Three seminars will be held in each location targeted at three different age groups, and will cover areas such as budgeting, tips for young professionals, financial makeovers and retirement.
