NACS launches new international event for Asia

The Association for Convenience & Fuel Retailing (NACS) is enhancing its international event strategy by introducing a new event for the Asian market in 2017.



Last update:

Taking place next March 20-24 in Sapporo and Tokyo, Japan, the event brings together the experience of the NACS Global Forum and the NACS Insight Convenience Summit – Europe, featuring thought leadership, store tours and opportunities to build strategic relationships in the Asian market.

“We see an immediate need for a consistent NACS presence in Asia. By creating Convenience Summit – Asia, we’re acknowledging the importance that this continent plays in the growth and innovation of our global industry,” says Michael Davis, NACS vice president of member services.

Beginning in Sapporo, participants of the inaugural NACS Convenience Summit – Asia will experience guided tours that offer an inside look at how Seicomart is successfully operating a vertically integrated organization.

Following Sapporo, the program will shift to explore the bustling market of Tokyo with a robust agenda featuring speakers, more store tours and discussions on critical topics such as foodservice supply chain and payment technology.

Davis added that the NACS Global Forum is not taking place in 2017 and will move toward being a more agile event that responds to global industry needs around the world.
