Networking Opportunities

NACDS has carefully formatted the Total Store Expo to create opportunities for Exhibitors and Retailers to interact. Retailers can take full advantage of these opportunities to meet with Exhibitors and start conversations.

The daily Networking Continental Breakfasts, Exhibit Hall Lunches, and evening receptions are great opportunities to meet new prospects and reconnect with partners.

NACDS Total Store Expo has been one of the most important events that we participate in each year. The combination of meetings with retailers at Meet the Market and on the trade show floor has yielded us deeper relationships and increased business. We have successfully closed deals each year that started with first interactions at TSE.

Ian Stone

Senior Vice President Mesmerize

I’ve attended every Total Store Expo since its inception. TSE is a great platform to launch and introduce new items as well as have very productive meetings with our retail and vendor partners. At E & J Gallo Winery, we find the show to be as valuable as Annual.
