APEX is the original executive-led Xchange format. 

 

APEX is an executive-only, invite-only conference that focuses on relationship building at the highest level. 

​

Retailers: The registration fee is $799 per attendee (retailers only).

First time attendee? Happy to waive the registration fee - just contact Amber Bradley here.

​

Solution Providers:  You MUST sponsor to attend.  There are no badges for non-sponsors.

 

RETAILER Registration includes:

• Three (3) Nights of your hotel are included at a killer location off Broadway (what other conference does that??)

• All meals including Monday dinner at a Nashville HOT spot and our famous Signature Networking Event on Tuesday evening-- where you never know what will happen, who you'll see or hear... 

• Full-conference access to all Executive Xchange sessions (#Boom)

• Unmatched networking with vetted, hand-selected solution providers

• No turning your badge around to walk an exhibit floor -- We don't have one! (badges but no exhibit floor)

​

The APEX event series, powered by TalkLP, is designed to bring together industry executives for a valuable exchange of ideas, learnings, and to strengthen the relationships within the retail, grocery, and c-store community.
