The NACS Leadership Forum 2026 is a focused gathering for convenience and restaurant industry executives, held February 10–12 in Miami Beach, FL. With fewer than 500 attendees, the format stays tight, built around growth strategy and revenue conversations rather than broad expo-style programming. Sessions and discussions center on the business side of the industry, where operators and senior leaders tend to get more direct access to each other than at larger trade events. The smaller footprint makes it easier to have real conversations and follow up on them. If you're a supplier or operator looking to build relationships with decision-makers in the convenience and restaurant space and have a mid-range event budget to work with, this forum is worth a look.
