Convenience and fuel retailing industry professionals from around the world gathered in Warsaw, Poland and London, England for new knowledge, new commercial connections and networking, and the opportunity to discover and discuss new ideas from retail store tours. And, the event featured the popular International Convenience Retail Awards—now in their 10th year, which recognize and promote convenience retailing excellence.
The Warsaw segment of the programme was held 3-5 June at the Warsaw Marriott Hotel and featured high level European retail thought leadership, strategy, trends and economics. Supplier hosted dinners, sightseeing and store visits connected attendees from around the globe to highlight the newest convenience retailing trends.

The 2018 NACS Convenience Summit Europe (3-8 June) presented three opportunities for guided tours of innovative store formats and disruptive retail practices in Warsaw and London. Attendees explored how retailers reacted to the threat of rising sales from discounters, how you can cater to your target’s palette (canteen-style, restaurant-style or QSR-style) and how retailers are differentiating themselves in a crowded market of “sameness”. Each tour includes a debrief package with insights.
