ALEXANDRIA – In today’s increasingly globalized world, it is essential for business owners to understand the global marketplace and gain best practices from colleagues around the world. The NACS Global Forum, taking place at the St. Regis Singapore, March 22 – 26, 2015, is a unique experience that brings together convenience and fuel retailing leaders from around the world to connect, exchange ideas and see fresh perspectives in a dynamic, global city, known as one of the biggest markets in the Asian region.

Major convenience brands in Singapore include 7-Eleven, owned by Dairy Farm International Holdings, and Cheers owned by NTUC Fairprice. The great popularity of the channel in the country stems from the stores’ ability to sell a wide range of imported goods and non-Asian products. Many of the country’s convenience stores are located within housing estates — reducing consumers' traveling time — and with most families in Singapore dual-income families, there is greater need for convenience in shopping for daily necessities.

At the Forum, local store tours to these and other diverse retail formats will allow retailers to see what’s working so they can apply new concepts to their stores at home.

The exclusive four-day program will also feature:

• Powerful networking and collaboration with global industry leaders, including C-level executives from all corners of the globe.
• Highly interactive programming, including presentations from world-class speakers, roundtable conversations with industry leaders and engaging group discussions with fellow retailers on vital industry topics.

The 2015 Global Forum’s Singapore location provides attendees with a thrilling opportunity to see first-hand how the convenience and fuel industry has adapted to one of the world’s most unique urban environments in this thriving 300-square-mile city-state with a population of just over 5 million and an unemployment rate of only 2%.

In addition to the invaluable networking opportunities provided by the NACS Global Forum, attendees will also be welcomed to share in one-of-a-kind experiences custom-tailored for industry executives to experience some of the most unique aspects of Singapore culture.
