You grow through new experiences, and being pushed out of your comfort zone accelerates that growth... I believe you have to continually listen, learn and engage.

Mark Panzer Albertsons Companies

This Partnership idea, which really is at the center of the philosophy of NACDS, you can really see that come alive now between Annual Meeting and coming through at Total Store Expo.

Alex Gourlay Walgreens Boots Alliance & Walgreen Co.

For us, the Annual Meeting is the one opportunity a year where you can get all the suppliers together and really cement that partnership on how we work together to make it better for customers. The reality is that Retailers can’t do it alone and Suppliers can’t do it alone.

Richard Ashworth Walgreen Co.

About Annual Meeting

For over 85 years, NACDS has served as a vibrant community of chains and suppliers. For much of this time, the NACDS Annual Meeting has been its signature event. In the days following the 2019 conference, 96 percent of attendees indicated that they planned to return in 2020. Those who attend for the first time quickly learn why. It is the opportunities. It is the results. It is the relationships. It is the member service. It is like nothing else. Make it yours!
