Sharing growth-igniting data and insights is what the Summit is all about! We are back and you cannot afford to miss this opportunity to seize the data that can transform your business!

Join us for two jam-packed days designed to help you understand the industry outlook and use it to your advantage. This Summit is the only event that delivers insights—not just facts—on the latest financial, operational, categorical, regional market, and consumer trends in convenience.

• Benchmark your business against competitors in your region and across the country

Trends:
• Get ahead of trends before they get ahead of you with the latest economic, consumer, convenience and adjacent channel trends that impact your business
• Identify the changes in shopper behavior that impact merchandising, dayparts and product discovery

Insights:
• ​Retailers and industry experts share insights that will help you capitalize on trends, avoid pitfalls and optimize the performance of your business
• Unlock new thinking that will elevate the role your store(s) play in fulfilling shoppers needs and build bigger baskets

Who Attends:

Leading fuel and convenience retailers and industry partners who want to make data driven decisions and know the value of using insights and benchmarking to improve their businesses. Retailers and their supplier partners know this event not only builds new connections and opportunities, but is the premier opportunity to upskill future leaders who can impact performance as they grow and develop their convenience and fuel industry knowledge.

With more than 50 years of convenience industry data, analysis and strategic insights behind it, this event provides the data-powered answers you need to help set the course forward for your business. Each spring, we bring together top business speakers, industry experts, and top-performing c-store retailers to help break down the latest consumer, financial and operational data across the convenience channel—live from the stage.
