Groceryshop has begun a partnership with the Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA). The partnership will foster greater collaboration within the CPG and grocery industry while expanding the event content to a broader audience.
Groceryshop, taking place Oct. 7-9 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, brings together more than 5,000 senior executives from various retailers, brands and technology companies to discuss the latest strategies, technologies and innovations for engaging and retaining today’s digital-first consumers.
Featuring more than 165 speakers across more than 50 sessions, IGA members will gain valuable insight into the technologies and strategies to enhance store operations, including inventory management, price and promotion optimization and new marketing tactics to increase profitability. The event will also spotlight growth opportunities, such as scaling online grocery businesses, building appealing retail media offerings and integrating personalization into loyalty programs.
“We are excited to partner with Groceryshop and provide IGA members with added value,” said Michael La Kier, IGA VP brand development.
“After attending Groceryshop last year, I knew that the event could benefit from greater inclusion of the independent grocery market as it represents one-third of all sales volume. This event – and new partnership – is an unparalleled opportunity for our community to engage with the latest industry advancements and connect with fellow leaders.”

IGA members have access to an exclusive 40 percent discount on event tickets, enabling greater access to the event’s insights and networking opportunities including Meetup, the show’s signature double opt-in meetings program. Participants are connected with other attendees that are aligned to their goals and objectives to maximize the quality of the up to 16 meetings scheduled across the three days of the event.
“Independent grocers are a vital part of the global grocery and CPG ecosystem, serving to strengthen local communities and shape market trends,” said Adam Houston, SVP and event director, Groceryshop. “Our partnership with IGA will allow us to share our insights and connect these retailers with the cutting-edge solutions that improve operations and create customer experiences that meet the demands of today’s modern shopper.”
