The conference featured nine vendor meetings as 45-minute sessions, allowing members and vendors to engage in meaningful business discussions in a relaxed environment.
The four-day event kicked off with a relaxed welcome BBQ dinner ahead of the conference opening incorporating member discussions and four vendor sessions, ending with a buffet dinner.
The following day saw the remaining five vendor sessions and a workshop for vendor partners and resellers to share feedback and insights. There were team prizes on offer and one major lucky door prize, won by Guy Coble from S5 Technology, Port Macquarie NSW. The day concluded with a formal three-course dinner around the poolside lobby. On the last day, attendees had the opportunity to relax, network and explore on a Daintree River cruise.
“Feedback from all attendees has been very positive. The networking and opportunities to grow business was extremely valuable. We are looking forward to our Annual Tradeshow Conference being held in May 2024 at RACV Royal Pines Resort QLD,” Leading Edge Retail CEO, Lee Scott said.
