About The Nora Network
The NORA Network has extensively grown from a small group of dynamic retailers to now - a community of over 19,000.
In 2020 our members reflect the diverse retail ecosystem from small to large pureplay and multinational retailers, and those who offer solutions and industry support.
Founded by Paul Greenberg, The NORA Network has an impactful ability to catalyse industry collaboration and connection. We connect members through a variety of formats including NORA TV, Leader Lunches, The Retail Virtual Portal, Solutions Marketplace and our annual core events – all offering exchange points for the industry to connect and share support.
The NORA Network’s Advisory Council contributes to the impact, relevance and cohesion of the community’s development.
