MANAMA, February 25, 2015

Albayan Media Group, a leading provider of integrated creative media solutions in the GCC, will organise the third Bahrain Retail Congress Conference and Workshops in this May.

The event will be held under the patronage of Zayed R Al Zayani, Minister of Industry and Commerce, and will take place from May 24 to 26, at Gulf Hotel Bahrain, said a statement.

There will also be an Exhibition and Shopping Festival taking place from May 27 to 30, at the Bahrain International Exhibition & Convention Centre, it added.

A Hamid Alasfoor, managing director of the Albayan Media Group, said:  “The Bahrain Retail Congress Conference and Workshops will focus on the theme, ‘The Future of Retail’, to inform, update and conduct training sessions for employees and professionals in the retail industry, in view of the latest developments and trends in retail operations, skills enhancement, strategy development and customer service.”

The event will be conducted in collaboration with globally certified training institutions such as Master Retailing and Dionco Inc of US, the latter represented by one of the conference’s international keynote masters and professional retail trainer and consultant, James Dion.

Alasfoor added: “The conference will be held in parallel with an exhibition and shopping Festival, another annual attraction in the event which offers excellent incentives for retailers, distributors, manufacturers, wholesalers, consumers and the general public. This year, we expect to surpass 2014’s record number of 40,000 visitors.”

“Once again, the exhibition will offer retailers the opportunity to clear their stocks, and at the same time showcase their products to a huge crowd of shoppers from Bahrain and the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia,” he added.

A special publication dedicated to the retail industry will be launched during the event, and will focus on current issues, trends and updates on consumer products and the retail industry in Bahrain.

A much-awaited highlight of the event is an awards ceremony that will be staged in honour of outstanding achievements in the field of retail, specifically those which have made a significant impact and contribution towards the development of the industry and its professionals, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
