“SMEs are the backbone of Malaysian retail, and they deserve practical strategies they can act on immediately. The summit with customer experience as the core agenda is designed to provide business owners with insights they can use to close the year strong and get ahead in 2026,” said Frost Chen, CEO of EasyStore.

Speakers from brands such as Claire Organics, NOSE, Oriental Kopi, Fortesys, GoFluence, and BrandGeeks will share their approaches to building strong communities, scalable infrastructure, and seamless experiences across ecommerce and offline retail. Whether expanding regionally or building local brand trust, this summit is all about driving retail growth.
