Vision 2027 exhibit

The spirit of collaboration was alive and well at the 2016 NACDS Total Store Expo.

NACDS leaders applauded the level of participation among retailer and supplier members in this year’s show at the Boston Convention Center. The conference, in fact, got off to an extremely strong start, with more than 7,000 prescheduled meetings between retailers and suppliers as part of the expo’s popular Meet the Market/Meet the Retailer program.

“I want to thank the retailers, supplier partners and sponsors who are engaging so strongly in the NACDS Total Store Expo and in all of the programs and services of NACDS,” association chairman Martin Otto, chief merchant and chief financial officer of H-E-B, told attendees during the Business Program.

It’s off to the West Coast for next year’s show. The 2017 NACDS Total Store Expo is scheduled for Aug. 19 to 22 in San Diego.
