Following the conference, we will be exploring two high priority issues for the convenience sector in our exclusive masterclasses. The first masterclass on offer for retailers (sponsored by Juul Labs) will focus on responsible retailing and age restricted sales in store, and we’ve also lined up a masterclass on the upcoming HFSS regulations where ACS Government Relations Director Ed Woodall will run through what you need to know to adapt your store ahead of the change in the law in October.
ACS chief executive James Lowman: “Summit is a highlight in the convenience calendar and is a valuable opportunity for retailers, suppliers and industry experts to come together to explore what’s happening in our sector and to look into the future at the opportunities and challenges that we might face.”
Summit22 is sponsored by Tŷ Nant, Suresite, Ubamarket, JUUL, Rich Products and COOK. For more information and to book your place, visit https://www.acs.org.uk/events/summit22
