28 October 2025
Tuesday ∙ 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Grant Arnott
Executive Director of ClickFrenzy
Grant Arnott is the founder of Click Frenzy, Australia’s original and best-known online shopping event, and Power Retail, the dedicated media and insights resource for the e-commerce industry. He also launched the E-Commerce Leaders’ Playbook in 2012, the Power Retail Top 100 in 2013, and the All-Star Bash in 2016. He is a highly respected veteran of online retail and business media, and an accomplished entrepreneur.
His pathway into e-commerce and entrepreneurship was somewhat unconventional – a university dropout, Grant spent six years in California teaching water skiing before deciding to get a real job. In 2009, Grant helped launch the first Online Retailer Conference in Australia and saw the greenfield opportunity for e-commerce at that time. On a conference visit to the US in 2011, he studied up on Cyber Monday, which was the genesis of Click Frenzy, a dedicated event to put Australian online retail on a pedestal. It launched in 2012, crashed due to the incredible demand from two million-plus Australians, and continues to be an important stimulus for retail today.
