Great Event

Informa’s (CSP) 2024 Center Store event was a great success and the experience was amazing. As a supplier, the 1 on 1 meetings were great and the retailers were very open to discussing their business and focus. We could not have had the amount and quality of meetings by traveling to meet with them in their offices for the cost of the event; and then to also attend the guest speakers talking about their company’s business and plans was an added benefit. Great event!
