NACS State of the Industry Summit

You Have Questions. We Have Data-Powered Answers.
One of the best ways to gain a competitive advantage is by using data to guide the direction of your business. Informed decisions can help you improve product offerings, retain customers, reduce costs and gain operational improvements to drive growth.

With nearly 50 years of convenience industry data, analysis and strategic insights behind it, the NACS State of the Industry (SOI) Summit provides the data-powered answers you need to help set the course forward for your business. Each spring, we bring together business professors, economists and top-performing c-store retailers to help break down the latest consumer, financial and operational data across the convenience channel—live from the stage. Held over two, fast-paced days, this annual benchmarking conference is the only event where convenience retailers gain access to the newest metrics—as well as industry trends, opportunities and ‘watch-outs’—in essential topic areas such as finance, labor, store operations, merchandising and fuel sales.
