The National Grocers Association (NGA) has partnered with FMS Solutions for this year’s Executive Conference & Public Policy Summit (Oct. 20-21) and the inaugural FMS Profit Summit (Oct. 22-24), two events featuring sessions focused on policy, technology and profit strategies for independent grocers.
“NGA’s Executive Conference & Public Policy Summit has been a must-attend event for industry leaders to gather in Washington, D.C., and participate in high-impact education, strategic meetings and advocacy,” said Greg Ferrara, NGA president and CEO.
“This year’s partnership with FMS Solutions will further enhance the event, delivering valuable insights and new experiences to independent supermarket leaders, while making it easier for busy owners and their teams to attend two great conferences in the same week.”
This year’s summit will begin Oct. 20 at The Fairmont in Washington, D.C., with sessions focused on trends shaping the future of grocery retail, economic insights for independent grocers, innovation and a variety of other topics.
The FMS Profit Summit follows two days later, also at The Fairmont, and is tailored for independent retailers wanting to refine their business strategies, stay ahead of industry trends and engage with like-minded peers focused on growth and innovation.
“FMS is excited to bring the FMS Profit Summit to independent grocers this year following NGA’s Executive Conference & Public Policy Summit,” said CEO Robert Graybill. “The Profit Summit is designed for independent retailers to sharpen their business strategies, explore emerging trends and gain practical strategies that will help bolster financial success.”
