There is only a few short weeks away from our biggest day on the SBIA calendar, which includes the Tag Team surfing event, Australian Surf Industry Awards and our second Industry Roundtable.
The roundtable will be a prelude to the Surf Industry Awards, which are on that night at the Crown Plaza, also in Coogee. This is a great opportunity for those attending the awards to also make the most of their travel time to Coogee by attending and soaking up the Roundtable as well. With some engaging topics on the ready it will be sure to be relevant for retailers, brands and staff members alike.
We’re stoked this month to present the 2017 Customer Survey results, as well as a star studded line up of guest speakers for the event that will be talking about some engaging topics that will be sure to be relevant for retailers, brands and staff members alike.
