Building on the success of the 10th edition of Online Retailer Conference & Expo in 2018, we have been busy consulting some of the greatest minds in the industry to join us on the journey to curating the most compelling retail event in 2019.

We are delighted to announce that Paul Greenberg, Founder of NORA Network has accepted the role of chairperson of the Online Retailer Advisory Board 2019. Paul has an honorable, long standing relationship with this show and with the retail industry and his wealth of knowledge and connections will be invaluable to this role.

In an interview with Paul following his acceptance of the role, he stated;

“Online Retailer is, quite frankly, my favourite retail event on the annual calendar. And my relationship to the event goes back to its inception. From an inaugural keynote I delivered in 2009 to the NORA Partnership which commenced in 2013. Add to that my unbroken attendance at every event and every ORIAS evening – I think you get the drift. This event, to quote Jerry Maguire, ‘completes me’! 

When Sally and Carmel asked me to chair the OR Advisory Board (I have served on it for a few terms), I jumped at the chance. And I could not be more excited and impressed with the Advisory Board we have. My unofficial tagline for 2019, is that “online is everyone’s opportunity” and this is reflected in our diverse advisory board. The message is clear - this event is far more than an event for online retailers. Far more.

I am looking forward to seeking the counsel of this talented advisory board to co-create with the quality Online Retailer team, an event that is by the industry for the industry. Relevant, resonant, and expansive. See you at OR 2019.”

Joining Paul on this board is a talented committee of inspiring thought leaders at the forefront of learning with a true desire and passion to join the team at Online Retailer in shaping the future of retail.

These 8 individuals represent different sections of the retail landscape across Australia at the highest level and we couldn’t be more gratified with knowing that the direction of the event will be consulted in their good hands.

We got a chance to catch up with the board to ask them what they are most excited about in anticipation of 2019 and the common themes in their responses were indicative of the consumer focused mindset that all members share within their roles, reinstating to us Paul Greenberg’s words that ‘online is everyone’s opportunity’.

We are thrilled to announce the Online Retailer Advisory Board for 2019.
