Vision Group Network (VGN) and Conexxus have partnered to create the Conexxus Vision Group (CxVG), a forum seeking to “expand Conexxus’ retailer and supplier engagement and amplify Conexxus’ goals and achievements. It will also quickly identify strategic technology innovations regarding convenience/mobility industry issues, technology, and practices,” said the companies.

According to the press release, the Conexxus Vision Group (CxVG) will meet quarterly beginning November 2024—three times per year in a virtual meeting and one in-person meeting in conjunction with the Conexxus Annual Meeting. VGN will share the contents of each CxVG meeting through VGN’s free online Vision Reports.

“Conexxus is very excited to be working with the Vision Group Network on this new initiative. Our goal is to maximize interaction between CxVG’s highly engaged members, which may lead to innovations and standards creation, or similar activities within the purview of the Conexxus mandate,” said Conexxus Executive Director Gray Taylor. “In addition, the unique nature of each quarterly CxVG meeting and Vision Report will broaden Conexxus’ reach and mission to provide a collegial and collaborative forum where all industry stakeholders work together.”

CxVG will be composed of retail members, Ally Supporter members, and Conexxus and VGN representatives. Following each meeting, VGN will produce a CxVG Vision Report, as it does with its other virtual forums, which will include a “Views” overview of the discussion, as well as an “In the Room” transcript of the entire meeting including any presentation made by a subject matter expert.
