Carrie's Education Corner - CDA Webinar, Marketplace Education
Dear members,
I am so excited to be attending the Convenience Distribution Marketplace 2018 in a couple short weeks and hope to meet many of you in person for the first time. Please feel free to set an appointment to discuss ideas face-to-face with me on how you would like to see Education evolve in 2018.
Last week, I highlighted our Executive Leadership sessions, and this week I wanted to highlight our Foodservice & Sales Session:

C-Store Foodservice: Trends and Opportunities
Track: Purchasing/Sales
Presenter: Wade Hanson, principal, Technomic
Discover current and developing foodservice trends and issues in the c-store channel through key findings from Technomic, leading research and consulting firm to the foodservice industry. Explore operator dynamics, performance, and needs and develop an understanding of consumers’ rapidly-changing expectations of foodservice, including c-stores. Perspectives will be shared that are relevant for both ‘big movers’ into foodservice as well as companies slowly exploring foodservice options and alternatives.

Also make sure to register for our upcoming *free* member webinar on March 6 at 1 PM ET! Fully Understanding Potential Amazon Effects on the Convenience Channel and Planning Three Strategic Responses, presented by Bruce Merrifield of WayPoint Analytics, Inc., will explore how Amazon's 9-and-growing, reinforcing, digital platforms will disrupt all traditional channels. Then, viewers will learn ways to minimize sales losses to Amazon, experiment with ways to partner Amazon, and how to have your own, more customer-centric digital strategy.

Have a wonderful Thursday and see you in Orlando!
