Cool New Products at State of the Industry Summit

The State of the Industry showcase is modeled after our highly successful Cool New Products Preview Room feature at the NACS Show. The showcase is centrally located in a high traffic area near networking space and general sessions. Nearly three-hundred executives and category managers from the top retailers in the business attending the Summit will be able to scan your product for sales information. You receive those leads post-event.

Most Summit attendees also attend the NACS Show. Having a presence here in April will help you stand out from a crowd of thousands in October. Visit convenience.org/soisummit for details.

NACS volunteers have a rare opportunity to influence the direction of the association as well as network with the industry’s most influential players. Currently, the Supplier Board governs three supplier committees:
