Retail Global Acquires Power Retail, Creating a Bigger, Better Retail Ecosystem in Australia

MELBOURNE, Australia, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Retail Global has officially signed an agreement to acquire the Power Retail brand and its assets – bringing together two of the industry’s most recognisable platforms and setting the stage for something much more connected, dynamic, and impactful for the Australian retail sector.

At its core, this moves blends Retail Global’s well-loved events and community with Power Retail’s strong media, content, and event presence. The result is a more powerful, always-on ecosystem that supports retailers, brands, and partners all year round – not just at key moments.

  • Retail Fest
  • All Star Bash
  • Shopforward
  • AFL Grand Final Business Lunch
  • National retail roadshows and executive events
  • Bespoke partner events
  • Digital publications and editorial
  • Whitepapers and research
  • Digital media and bespoke content solutions

Instead of disconnected touchpoints, this creates a single, integrated platform where ideas, relationships, and opportunities can build continuously.

Retail Global also took a moment to recognise the impact Power Retail has had on the Australian retail and ecommerce landscape – much of which comes down to the work of founder Grant Arnott over many years, including building Global Marketplace and helping shape the industry as it stands today.

There’s a strong legacy behind Power Retail,” DiPierdomenico added. “We’re committed to honouring that while continuing to evolve and grow what comes next.
