The San Diego Convention Center has announced that the Center will now be closed until September. As a result, NACDS is unable to hold the 2020 Total Store Expo. As has been the case throughout NACDS’ history, and certainly now during this pandemic, an unwavering member focus defines NACDS. Consistent with that focus, NACDS continuously evaluated the prospect of presenting the Total Store Expo (TSE) that lives up to member expectations. Paramount to any decision was the health and safety of attendees. At the same time the very ability to hold TSE in San Diego was a dynamic that we had to monitor carefully. Well-being and practicality have been the subject of a multitude of conversations with appropriate officials.
No. The 2020 NACDS Total Store Expo will not be rescheduled.
