Connect: Vendor-2-Retailer is the only event of its kind for the independent grocery and convenience store industry in Washington State. After a year like no other, let's gather to learn and celebrate what makes our industry unique.
What will the grocery industry look like 5, 10 or 25 years from now? How will app-based delivery services influence consumers and grocers? What will automation mean for stores? And how will smaller grocers compete in an increasingly competitive marketplace? Join our guests for a glimpse into the future of the grocery industry.
