Add a complete package of expert-led store tours to see exceptional convenience retailing and you have the 2023 NACS Convenience Summit Europe, which will take place 30 May to 1 June at the Intercontinental Dublin in Dublin, Ireland.
The programme will explore the market trends spurring growth in the region and around the globe. Join more than 130 senior leaders from top retailers and manufacturing companies from 20-plus countries who will learn how the retail shopping experience is evolving to meet new consumer demand for omnichannel experiences, hard discounts, food-to-go and food-for-later meal options. You’ll be immersed in effective insights and strategies to help you excel in this utterly unique European market.
Attendees rave about the value of the event. “NACS Convenience Summit Europe is one of the best events that I attend that’s dedicated to the European convenience and fuel industry. Each year, I leave with new global insights and a broader perspective on the future of our industry,” said Lekkerland AG & Co. CEO Patrick Steppe.
Dublin is the site of the 2023 Convenience Summit Europe because it provides the most unique examples of exceptional convenience foodservice retailing, perhaps in the entire world. You will have a chance to visit 16 stores that showcase world-class retailing and hear from the visionaries who built these brands.
The programme begins on the morning of 30 May with expert-led bus and walking tours at sites from global brands like Circle K, Spar and Texaco, local giants like Maxol, Centra and Avoca, as well as drawing inspiration from local single-store heroes. You'll learn how to leverage the latest foodservice strategies to sell fresh, immediate consumption using high-quality ingredients in a competitive market. The store tours will end with a welcome reception, where you can continue networking and sharing ideas and discussing trends with other forward-thinking executives and industry leaders.
