The 2024 NACS convention and expo kicked off Monday, bringing the convenience-retailing industry’s biggest annual shindig to the Las Vegas Convention Center for exhibits, educational sessions, networking, plenty of walking and, of course, snacking. 

Some 1,200 c-store industry exhibitors are slated to show their wares across 430,000 square feet of convention space when the exhibit halls open Tuesday. 

The event, which runs through Thursday, will feature exhibits and information spanning five categories: fuel equipment and services, food equipment and foodservice programs, facility development and store operations, merchandise and technology.

On Monday evening, Casey’s CEO and President Darren Rebelez will receive the 2024 Retail Leader of the Year honor from CSP

Here’s a look at the full NACS schedule. Stay tuned to CSP for ongoing coverage of the industry event.

Wondering about Wonder

Marc Lore's food startup is combining c-stores, restaurants, meal kits and delivery into a single "mealtime platform." Can it be greater than the sum of its parts?

Technology/Services

Most 7-Eleven rewards members use self-checkout but few use it every time

Faster transactions, shorter lines and ease of use drive interest, age-restricted items and technical issues still pose barriers
