On the final evening of the Online Retailer Conference & Expo was the ORIAS, a night filled with music, networking and, of course, the Awards.
Now in its tenth year, the ORIAS recognises some of the best players in the industry. On Thursday night, the winners were revealed. With more than 1000 people at the event, this was a night to remember.
The night was hosted by Australian stage performer, TV presenter and icon, David Campbell, and the guests were presented with a ‘world-class’ show Dance Dance Dance, a group of ballroom dancers who showcased a performance with a quick-change adagio couple, and plenty of dancing from the guests themselves.
“The ORIAS celebrate the retailing innovators that set new standards of excellence for both online and in-store; be that through innovation, expansion, or customer experience. These awards are a testament to their dedication and hard work to remain passionate and competitive in today’s global economy,” Online Retailer’s Event Director, Matt Smith, said.
