New in 2024, CStore Momentum (formerly the YEO Conference) is available to employees of NAG Member companies and the 2023 CSD 40 under 40 Leaders to Watch inductees. Additionally, this program is built for individuals who are currently or will soon be rising the leadership ranks at their own company. Historically, we’ve said that attendees should be 40 years of age, or younger, but we are happy to include anyone who sees themselves as a “next-generation” leader within their organization. 

Retail membership is $500 per company per year. Allied Supplier membership is $5000 per company per year. 

CStore Momentum, formerly known as the YEO Conference, is unique in that it is hosted by a NAG member retail chain. The event is purpose built to offer all attendees a wholistic deep dive into how the host retailer operates. By building the content around the host retailer, in their own back yard, attendees can leave with a strong example of success to reference as they work to move their own companies forward. 

Additionally, all YEO programming, including CStore Momentum, offers attendees not only retail and operational insights, but also leadership development opportunities. 

This event is a one-stop shop for those who will lead our industry for years to come. 

An Info Exchange is an intimate round table discussion. NAG / YEO programming offers three different types of Info Exchange through out the year; Retail Leaders Exchange, Burning Issues Exchange, and Partners Exchange.

CStore Momentum will feature one Burning Issues Exchange session, which offers an intimate format for both retail and supplier attendees to self-select the group they will join by picking from a list of pre-determined discussion topics. 

Yes. All Young Executive Organization (YEO) programming, including CStoreMomentum, is available to individuals from NAG member companies and the 2023 CStore Decisions 40 Under 40 Leaders to Watch inductees.  Industry suppliers/manufacturers must secure an Allied Membership to be eligible to sponsor YEO programs. 

No. Speaker selection for this event is an intimate process between our content team and the board of directors for NAG Convenience. Speakers are selected from the convenience industry and volunteer their expertise. For this reason, speakers for hire/speaker bureaus are discouraged from contacting the content team.

The National Advisory Group (NAG) and the Young Executives Organization (YEO) are still active membership communities that work to produce networking events, community based learning,  and other member benefits through out the year. 

In 2024, we announced some rebranding that updates how we refer to our (2) annual events. The NAG Conference is now called CStoreConnections. The YEO Conference is now called CStoreMomentum.

Everything that you know and love about YEO is still here!
