Yeah, explore the transformative power of N AC DS events in 2024 whether you're a retailer looking to enhance your strategy, a supplier, seeking valuable partnerships or an industry enthusiast driven to make a lasting impact. And AC DS events are a catalyst for growth and a thriving hub of innovation at Total Expo. Again, you get to meet different companies across the industry. And like I said, there's so many companies out there that I may not ever get the chance to really see, meet and talk to and I get to here. And then also when I go back, I have a lot of meetings on my calendar after that, but it's always great so that I can stay ahead. So I went to annual this year, I found out about annual through another friend who's been in the CPG space for about 25 years. He said you have to go down to annual. I went down not knowing anybody really, whether it was the retailers or other folks that I've met at cds that are supportive and also meeting other entrepreneurs, other founders and just talking about, hey, what's working for you or how can we be better? And that idea sharing that collegial collaboration has been super encouraging the span of which you can bring your teams to connect with everyone is really great. And as opposed to annual, which is a little bit more higher level executives, we can really bring in robust team members to learn about what ads is all about to connect with the industry and talk about the right things is very execute. And in our category, all the things that we're doing in TSE rapidly gets deployed into the market. So then annual gives us sort of a mid year update to talk with the retail merchants about what's working, not working and then game plan, how to make it better going forward. Uh We've done lots of shows and by far, I can tell you that N AC DS has been the most reproductive and helpful and resourceful for us out of all of our shows as well as profitable. You come to this kind of a meeting and you're able to see what's new and what's coming up on the horizon. So you're not just thinking of today, but you're also able to see what's in the future. All the CDS meetings are special in their own way. But the ncds regional meeting is really a great opportunity for the regional chains to come together and discuss unique concepts and ideas and ways to overcome the challenges that they are facing today and ways of working together to serve their customers moving forward and to do that in an intimate setting. So to me, the regional meeting is a can't miss meeting if you're a regional chain, we invite you to engage with ads and your industry partners year round at our signature events, the regional chain conference, the annual meeting and the NC Total Store Expo are your exclusive gateway to staying ahead of trends, making meaningful connections, conducting business and achieving results.
