C-Store Forum Asia
Following the success of the Asia, Africa and Middle East PetroForum earlier this year in Kuala Lumpur, OpenRoom Events brings to the Asian market a specialist forum for the convenience retail sector.
C-Store Forum Asia puts the leading operators of neighbourhood-style supermarkets and petrol station shops alongside regional and global suppliers of retail equipment and services. The 2 day event will adopt the successful OpenRoom format of pre-arranged meetings, conference sessions and plenty of informal networking.
The Asian c-store industry has witnessed tremendous growth over the past few years with soaring customers’ expectations of enjoying convenient shopping and integrating western concept in their lifestyle. The region has emerged as a lucrative market and has shown remarkable resilience against the global financial crisis.
C-Store Forum Asia is the perfect platform to explore these developments, giving companies who wish to tap into this emerging market the opportunity to share ideas, gather information and make new contacts.
Supplier Categories include food-to-go operators, energy control systems, signage, design & branding, lighting & LED, shop fitting and display systems, in-store media, EPOS and retail technology.
Some feedback from the Dubai C-Store Forum:
“It was a wonderful experience and a delight for me and Circle K to participate. You put on a terrific event: congratulations on a successful conference”
John Patton, Circle K, USA
“Your speed-dating event is unique and a very, very effective format. I got face-to-face time with top decision makers, that hadn’t answered my calls or e-mails in 2 years… If I look at the cost per contact ratio, it is half the cost of our main shopfitting fair.”
Markus Ehrich, International Sales Director, Bäro Lighting GmbH
“The event was a real eye opener and was incredibly productive. Not only did we manage to meet with a few people to cement ideas that were already in the pipeline, but also met and befriended a great many more.”
Joanna Pollard, Coffee Planet
"Your concept of blending genuine customers with genuine vendors is incomparable, whilst the real benefits of spending quality time with potential customers, with a focus on doing business, is immense"
