“The value of convenience continues to grow as customers continually redefine what it means to them,” said Henry Armour, President and CEO of NACS. “It’s more important than ever to see and hear how trends can – and do – impact retail.”
Many consumers are ready to leave the confines of virtual and telecommuting environments for real, real-time business, and convenience professionals are more prepared than ever to pick up momentum, take on new challenges, and continue to innovate at full speed.
“The industry is moving at full speed, and the 2022 show will continue to focus on advancing the business goals of the convenience industry,” Armor said.
Industry members will learn from each other, discover the latest products and innovations, and gather insights into key industry trends at this year’s show. There will be 425,000 square feet of exhibit spacewith over 1,200 exhibitors in five categories of interest: Merchandise, candy and snacks, technology, facility development and store operations, fuel equipment and services, food equipment and food service programs.

Each year, NACS Show training provides essential expertise in key areas such as catering, technology, leadership and operations. This year 45+ training sessions were dreamed up and crafted by the convention’s content committee – industry peers – with the goal of providing the most relevant and engaging content for NACS attendees, including workforce issues labor, supply chain disruption, inflation and recession. The education provided at the NACS Show will be more about convening and guiding – and facilitating a conversation that could lead to solutions.
