The National Convenience Show is the must-attend event for all owners and buyers from the convenience market, including Convenience Stores, Independent Retailers, Symbol Groups, CTNs, Off Licences, Wholesalers, Cash & Carries and Cafes.
The NEC will once again serve as the gathering spot for like-minded convenience store owners eager to explore every new development in the industry. Key themes including crime, technology, political participation, sustainability, plastics, CBD, health and wellness, food-to-go, social media, and the outlawing of menthol cigarettes are all slated to be addressed head-on.
The Retailer Hub is the place to go for business inspiration. Here, a number of top suppliers, retailers, and industry professionals get together to give cutting-edge consumer insights, business guidance, and hands-on demos.
