Insights Sessions
Every conference gives retailers and suppliers the opportunity to attend presentations and panel discussions led by industry experts. Each Insights Session focuses on current and future trends, research, and opportunities facing those in the retail industry, as well as the obstacles in the market and how to overcome them. Presentations are made available to attendees at the conclusion of the conference for future reference.
Networking Receptions
Nightly receptions and dinners give attendees a chance to network outside of meetings and appointments. During the Showcase reception, retailers can meet with suppliers by their product display to discuss new and popular items in a more relaxed environment. During dinner events, attendees can have a meal together, enjoy live entertainment, and even partake in games or activities set-up at the venue.
Fundraising Events
GMDC is always looking for an opportunity to give back to the community, and our conferences are the perfect way to have our members join us in this endeavor. At the conclusion of each conference, any product left by supplier companies is donated to a local charity. We also host fundraising events during the conference. We invited Feeding Children Everywhere to GM17 and GM18 where GMDC staff and members put together over 40,000 meals for local children.
