This week, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) Board of Directors and senior-level representatives from NACDS-member retailer and supplier companies will gather for NACDS Week in New York City. Hot and emerging topics — and critical issues — facing the industry and the nation will be front-and-center.
NACDS looks forward to the strong engagement and vibrant discussion.
On Wednesday, the NACDS Retail Advisory Board — which advises the NACDS Board of Directors on front-end retail issues — will hold a meeting featuring timely and relevant presentations on myriad topics. Presentations include: “How Emerging Technologies Will Impact the Future of Beauty, Health and Wellness Retailing” by Deb Weinswig, Coresight Research, Inc.; “What’s on Our Mind for the Industry in 2023” by Todd Huseby and David Hanfland, Kearney; and “From Here to … Where? The New Right Side Up” by Bryan Gildenberg, Confluencer Commerce.
At the NACDS Leadership Roundtable, the presentations will focus on: “The Global Economic Outlook” by Greg Portell and Erik Peterson; and “Changing Consumer Behavior” by Dr. Kyle Dropp, President, Morning Consult.
A separate but related key event of the week is the NACDS Foundation Dinner — which will be held on Wednesday evening at the Sheraton New York Times Square. Renowned astrophysicist and author Neil deGrasse Tyson will headline this year’s event. Additionally, Dr. Brett Giroir, former assistant secretary for health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, will be presented with the NACDS Foundation’s highest honor: the Excellence in Patient Care Award. The NACDS Foundation funds research, education, and scholarships in the public interest.
Also scheduled as part of NACDS Week in New York City are networking events and meetings hosted by industry partners.
NACDS Week in New York City wraps up the Association’s 2022 calendar of events.
