Food and convenience to be focus at Dublin Summit

Thursday September 15 at Doubletree by Hilton in Dublin

The future of food and convenience will be explored at Ireland’s Forecourt & Convenience Summit in Dublin this September.

Launched at the IFEX expo in Belfast in March, the Ireland’s Forecourt & Convenience Summit takes place at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Dublin on September 15 providing invaluable advice and insight into the revolution in the food-to-go markets and convenience retail sector.

More than 400 delegates are expected to attend the day-long event, which comprises a trade exhibition and a comprehensive series of motivational presentations from inspirational local and international guests.

Some 30 select companies will be attending the trade exhibition, all of them demonstrating targeted and innovative products and solutions – perfect for proprietors, managers, buyers and decision-makers in the foodservice, convenience retail, and fuel sectors.

Foodservice and hospitality is now central to fuel retail, making the September 5 event essential for those operating in a wide range of sectors from all over Ireland north and south.

“Ireland’s Forecourt and Convenience Summit 2016 is an important event for the neighborhood, convenience and forecourt retail industry. Top Oil fully supports this initiative to strengthen this exciting sector.”

– Michael O’Regan, National Retail Manager, Top Oil

Packed with fresh insights into technologies, methods, products, and practices revolutionising grocery retail, the event will be an eye-opening experience for all those involved in the full spectrum of the sector.

Ireland’s Forecourt & Convenience Summit 2016 is a key event for forward-thinking traders and companies, providing direction and insight in a period of evolution and change.

Commenting on the launch of the 2016 Summit, organiser and IF&CR publisher Bill Penton said: “This will be an event on a different magnitude than seen thus far in the domestic fuel retail and convenience sector. It’s a huge opportunity for everyone in the industry, and will be unrivaled for its scope and content.”

“Retailing in Ireland is among the best, if not the best in Europe, and we’re looking forward to attending Ireland’s Forecourt and Convenience Summit 2016 later in the year.”

– Gary Desmond, CEO, Gala

David Allan from Overall Sponsor Nestle Professional added: “While we are raising awareness for the brand, putting our name to the Ireland’s Forecourt & Convenience Summit 2016 seemed a logical step. We have seen a good rate of return from our work with IF&CR magazine over the last two years, so we knew that joining as lead sponsor would be the ideal next step for the brand.”
