Industry Update Tour

A Smarter Way to Connect

The NACS Industry Update Tour for 2026 delivers a refreshed experience—and a first look at the convenience retail industry through the lens of NACS leadership.

This nationwide series of complimentary Industry Updates brings retailers and fuel jobbers together in cities across the United States for timely insights in a relaxed, after-work-friendly format. 

Hear NACS President & CEO Frank Gleeson

Each Industry Update will feature an exclusive presentation from NACS President & CEO Frank Gleeson, who joined NACS at the beginning of 2026. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from Gleeson as he shares his perspective on where the industry is headed—and what it means for your business.

Attendees will hear and learn:

  • Regional insights from the NACS State of the Industry Report® and CSX® data
  • Legislative and regulatory updates on issues that impact your business
  • Emerging trends and timely issues shaping the industry’s future

What to Expect

Industry Updates begin in the afternoon, making it easy to wrap up the workday and join the conversation. Guests will enjoy light snacks, casual networking, and a high-impact presentation, followed by time to connect with peers and NACS leadership.

No registration fees apply. All retailers and jobbers, regardless of NACS membership, are welcome to attend. NACS Hunter Club member companies can send up to two individuals per event as space allows.
