Changes as a result of Covid-19
There have been numerous changes to the global and local Convenience association’s events calendars as a result of Covid-19.
In summary, the management committee is recommending the following changes at this time.
- Industry report – delay until lockdowns are relaxed and review the impact for the industry – most likely via an online presentation.
- Peter Jowett awards – topic remains the same however registration of interest only is required at this stage via email to dave@retailworx.co.nz by May 31st. Timing and format of presentation plus prize still to be finalised.
- Awards night – we would very much like to run this but it may be a little later in the year.
