National conference for newsagents next month

newsXpress is hosting a national conference next month and has set aside spaces for non newsXpress members to participate at no cost.

Here is the announcement I shared with newsXpress members:

newsXpress National Conference. Melbourne, September 8, 9 & 10.

In the newsXpress member community, I see a powerful force: a community of passionate small business owners. We may run different shops, cater to different customers, but we share a common ground – the drive to succeed, to build, and to serve our communities.

The world throws challenges our way, from economic shifts to ever-changing consumer trends. But here’s the secret weapon of small businesses: we are not alone. This conference is about the power of “Together We Can.”

We can share best practices, learn from each other’s triumphs (and maybe even a few stumbles!), and build a network of support that strengthens us all.

So, let’s use this conference to connect, collaborate, and unlock the incredible potential we have together. Together, we can navigate any challenge, seize every opportunity, and create a thriving future for our businesses and our communities.

Monday is a full business day, focussed on sharing insights on newsagency retail transformation and how to execute this on a limited budget.

We will look to 2025 and beyond and consider ways we can make our businesses more resilient and valuable.

We’ll talk through how we can better support each other.

And, we will consider how to navigate challenges faced baby legacy products.

This is a conference for retail newsagents, designed to offer support and encouragement, to help us all find an enjoyable path to the future.

Thants to supplier support and support from newsXpress itself, participation is free.

If you are interested, please email help@newsxpress.com.au.

At the we conference, we anticipate we will launch an exclusive for newsXpress members range of limited-edition products with a significant partner already delivering terrific traffic and sales for newsXpress members.

Here what to expect at the conference:

  • Networking. You’ll get to meet fellow newsXpress members. This is thebiggest value members tell us about conferences. Catching up with others in a relaxed environment. Sharing, learning, nurturing.
  • It’s a no pressure event.
  • You can provide feedback we use to shape what the group does and offers.
  • You will be presented actionable opportunities.
  • Have a laugh.
  • Challenged. Not openly, not in public. Listening to the sessions though some of what you currently do may be challenges, and that’s good because change is vital.
  • Energised. We’re sure you will come away with an action plan.

If you’re an introvert and are concerned that you’ll find it uncomfortable. Hang out with me, we can talk one on one, privately. There will be plenty of us introverts at theconference.
