“Sponsoring The Warsaw Friends of Convenience Dinner is a natural extension of what forecourttech stands for: a community which is serious about technology and innovation.”
5 June 2026: forecourttech, Europe’s leading industry conference and meetings convention dedicated to technology shaping the future of fuel, convenience, and mobility retail, is proud to announce its sponsorship of The Warsaw Friends of Convenience Dinner, taking place on the evening of Tuesday, 16 June 2026, in Warsaw.
The dinner takes place after the official NACS Convenience Summit Europe Welcome Reception and has been co-organised by two long-standing friends and supporters of forecourttech, Christian Warning, Founder & CEO of The Retail Marketeers, and Leszek Jurczak.
Warning explained, “The Warsaw Friends of Convenience Dinner is conceived in a spirit that sets it apart from the formal conference programme. This is an evening designed around people; senior leaders from convenience retail, foodservice and mobility retail coming together not to present or perform, but to connect. To catch up with old friends. To make new ones. To share experiences and exchange ideas in the way that has always made this industry genuinely special.”
Stephen Bozdan, managing director at SAB Events and organiser of forecourttech, said: “At forecourttech, we have always believed that the future of our industry is shaped not only on conference stages, but in the conversations that happen around them and, sometimes, around a dinner table. The relationships built in moments like these are the foundation on which the next generation of ideas, partnerships and industry progress is constructed.
“Sponsoring The Warsaw Friends of Convenience Dinner is a natural extension of what forecourttech stands for: a community of people who are serious about technology and innovation, but who understand that the human connections in our industry are just as important as the digital ones.”
Over the years, the convenience and mobility retail community has proven itself to be something more than a professional network. It is a global family of passionate people who genuinely enjoy learning from one another, helping one another and celebrating each other’s successes.
The Warsaw dinner is an expression of exactly that spirit. Seating is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the format, and attendance is by invitation only.
