Co-located with the 2024 NACS Show in Las Vegas, the NACS Food Safety Forum will return for its third year on October 7. Why should you attend? Because food safety is not an option—it’s an imperative.

Convenience stores are one of the fastest growing food segments, with foodservice (prepared food; commissary; hot, cold and frozen dispensed beverages) representing nearly 27% of inside sales in 2023, according to NACS State of the Industry Report® data.

The half-day forum aims to empower convenience leaders and their teams to do the right thing, protect public health and brands and deliver the high quality and safe experience customers deserve.

Content at this year’s Forum will focus on four main principles: consumer safety, clean and quality experiences, protecting our brands, and empowering our teams to do the right thing. The lineup includes sessions and panels on:

• State of Foodservice in Convenience, featuring Chris Rapanick, managing director, NACS Research
• Testing Your Temperature Monitoring, Cleaning and Sanitation IQ, featuring David McIntyre, senior health and safety specialist, EG Group
• Top Food Safety Risk Factors
• Solutions for Protecting Public Health Panel, featuring Melanie Harris, manager, food safety retail, Casey’s; Corrin Howard, senior regulatory compliance supervisor, Wawa; and moderator Jeremy Zenlea, vice president health and safety, EG America

Additionally, participants will be empowered to recognize the whys behind food safety protocols and how certain behaviors can enhance and protect their teams, customers and brands.
