Aside from the much anticipated publication of the Top 500 ranking which was included in Retail Asia’s July 2017 issue, the Top 500 programme culminates in an annual Award Ceremony & Gala Dinner, graced by retailers and industry players from around the region — to gather and witness the presentation of awards to winning retailers.
