How APRCE started
Since 1983
APRCE has been the main activity of the Federation of Asia-Pacific Retailers
Associations (FAPRA), which has 18 association members from 18 countries. It is the longest running biennial retail
conference in Asia-Pacific. The host country is selected by FAPRA members
through a bidding process held every 2 years. The 17th APRCE 2015
was held in Manila, Philippines while the 16th APRCE 2013 took place
in Istanbul, Turkey.
The 18th
APRCE 2017 will bring together participants to learn, discover and network, and
make meaningful connections with other industry professionals. It will also
highlight innovative solutions to help retailers differentiate themselves from
their competitors.
