Join Visionary C-Store Leaders at CSE in Warsaw

The global convenience store industry is growing rapidly, with innovative retailers redefining convenience in their markets.

This year at NACS Convenience Summit Europe, taking place June 16-18 in Warsaw, Poland, participants will see firsthand how retailers are shaping the future of convenience and delivering exceptional customer experiences.

Attendees will be immersed in Warsaw’s convenience landscape, where small-format stores offer grab-and-go foodservice, beverages and coffee, along with services such as parcel pickup, food delivery, courier services and bill payment. These stores serve as attractive shopping destinations with extended hours and highly accessible locations.

Sessions will focus on key issues and growth opportunities, including:

• Digitizing Your Business: Learn how retailers can meet the needs of always-connected consumers and transform operations with technology, from in-store sensors tracking shopper behavior to AI-powered checkout, theft prevention and automated replenishment systems.
• Building Resilience and Reducing Supply Chain Risk: Explore strategies for increasing flexibility, diversifying sourcing, leveraging data analytics and strengthening supplier partnerships.
• Who Are Your Younger Customers? Discover how Gen Z and Gen Alpha are reshaping convenience retail as both customers and employees, and gain ideas for engaging them through modernized offers and company culture.
• The Future of Food in C-Stores: Examine ways to elevate food offerings amid rising expectations for quality, freshness, speed and value, with insights on menu development, kitchen design and digital integration.
• Trends and Opportunities for Convenience Retailers in Europe: Gain insights into emerging behaviors across key European markets, with a focus on Poland, where consumers are embracing modern formats, healthier options, digital payments and loyalty-driven experiences while still valuing affordability and tradition.
