CATALYST 2022

TAS Annual Suppliers Conference & Awards

Wednesday, 20th April 2022

About

Welcome to

CATALYST 2022

We are back with yet another edition of Catalyst, our annual suppliers conference and awards. By definition, a Catalyst is a person or thing that triggers significant change at a very fast rate; much like our valued supplier partners whom we always count on to enable rapid positive change as we adapt to the uncertainties in our business environment. Currently, the sourcing and retail industry is witnessing a tremendous paradigm shift in how it operates. Our continued success depends largely on how well we adapt and respond to these changes together.

This year, the sessions will focus on our mutual challenges and opportunities that will define the future success of our organisations and partnership. Senior leaders from Target Australia and TAS will share business and strategy updates and our business outlook for the immediate future. Join us at Catalyst 2022 to uncover new opportunities for the accelerated growth of our partnership and our mutual success. We look forward to hear your views, address your queries and celebrate our shared success!
