ALEXANDRIA, Va. – It’s like Christmas in July here at NACS, with special announcements this week revealing who’s taking the stage at the 2016 NACS Show to provide inspiration and motivation, and offer practical and relevant information—all to help you grow your business. The 2016 NACS Show is taking place October 18–21 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

Our first speaker announcement is productivity and leadership specialist Merit Gest, set to address NACS Show attendees on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 18. 

Imagine a future where every employee at every level of the 154,000-plus convenience stores in the United States are worthy of a Most Valuable Player award. Imagine a future where everyone you interacted with, from truck drivers and cashiers to sales reps and managers, treated you like an MVP and owned their role with the passion and commitment that MVP winners bring consistently. Now, imagine laughing and learning as Merit Gest kicks off the NACS Show and shares what’s possible for our industry’s future: MVPs everywhere!

Gest, author of Myth. Shift. Repeat. Challenging The Truths That Sabotage Success, infuses more than two decades of human dynamics, sales and leadership experience into a power-packed presentation. Attendees will hear what makes a person willing to go above and beyond the call of duty, and why some people consistently rise to the top while others cling to an entitlement mentality.

You won’t want to miss this engaging presentation mixed with energy and humor. Be sure to claim your spot at the NACS Show by registering today—see you in Atlanta!
