Australia’s e-commerce revolution is here to stay with technology and new consumer behaviours unlocking more pathways to retail success. But customer experience, sustainability and connections remain at the core.
Welcome to The Australian E-Commerce Summit blog where retail and e-commerce experts have provided valuable insights on unlocking more success from a post-Covid revolution.

The speakers line-up included Australia Post chief executive Paul Graham, Shopify president Harley Finkelstein, Amazon’s operations director Craig Fuller, Bunnings managing director Mike Schneider, Love to Dream chief Susie Sugden and ClearCo chief Michele Romanow.
