The NACS Human Resources Forum is the premier program designed to educate and connect HR professionals working in the convenience and fuel retailing industry. At the three-day Forum, attendees benefit from interactive presentations on topics vital to their job, case studies that can generate new ideas and valuable opportunities to build relationships with industry peers.
Unlike generic HR-related events, the NACS HR Forum provides attendees with actionable information on topics specific to their job – in their industry. National-caliber speakers and industry peers provide in-depth insight and knowledge about:
- New laws and regulations that impact the convenience industry
- Best practices on how to find and keep the right talent
- Ways to manage rising labor and benefit costs
- And much more.
Plus, attendees are updated on all the legal trends and issues that affect their job, so they can understand their implications and ensure compliance requirements are met and business risks are avoided.
Since the NACS HR Forum is designed for our industry, attendees can network with others who have the same career opportunities as they do – peers that participants can share ideas with and learn new strategies from. This valuable experience helps attendees build industry relationships that last well beyond the three days at the Forum. Attendees have the opportunity to build a strong peer network that can function as a personal board of advisors to help with work issues and opportunities throughout the year and in years to come.
