Supermarket News, NexChapter gear up for another GroceryNEXT
Supermarket News, in partnership with NexChapter, Wednesday announced the return of GroceryNEXT, building on the momentum of its inaugural year as a leading forum for grocery executives focused on the future of retail.
Taking place Aug. 24-26 at the Westin Chicago in Lombard, GroceryNEXT will once again bring together a curated group of grocery leaders, technology partners and CPG brands for a high-impact event designed to address the most important shifts happening across the industry.
At the center of GroceryNEXT is the GroceryNEXT Advisory Board, made up of respected grocery executives who actively shape the agenda to ensure it reflects real-world priorities, challenges and opportunities. See the full board here: https://informaconnect.com/grocery-next/advisory-board/
The 2026 program will focus on critical areas defining the next era of grocery: customer experience, omnichannel commerce, data and AI and retail media.
“After a strong first year, GroceryNEXT is quickly becoming a must-attend event for grocery leaders who want to stay ahead of where the industry is going,” said Joe Donelley, president of Media and Events at Informa Connect. “We’re focused on bringing the right people together and creating conversations that are practical, relevant and forward-looking.”
Art Sebastian, founder and CEO of NexChapter and chair of the GroceryNEXT Advisory Board, added, “What made GroceryNEXT special in year one was the quality of the conversations and the willingness of leaders to engage openly. In year two, we’re building on that foundation and going deeper, focusing on the areas that truly move the business, from customer value to AI to retail media.”
GroceryNEXT is designed to be more interactive and collaborative than traditional industry events, combining mainstage sessions with working discussions and peer-to-peer engagement that drive real takeaways.
