Global Convenience Store Focus and forecourttech announce media partnership
In an exciting development, international convenience industry media platform Global Convenience Store Focus (GCSF) has announced a media partnership with forecourttech, the European leader in face-to-face meeting conventions for current day and evolving technologies to the fuel & convenience retail industry.
This powerful new partnership combines valuable online showcasing and marketing with the much sought after scheduling of face-to-face engagements to get business done, combining online and in-person opportunities for solution providers and retail organisations.
GCSF Managing Director Dan Munford:
“This feels like good timing! We’re delighted to announce this media partnership with forecourttech. Online engagement has deepened considerably over recent years and now we see the roaring return of face-to-face engagement. We think there’s a big opportunity to make it easier by developing a combination of targeted, online + face-to-face engagements and events, working closely together in this exciting new media partnership with forecourttech”.
SAB Events Founder Stephen Bozdan agrees:
“I’m buoyant about this partnership, for me it takes us to the next level, by combining our brands, our industry knowledge and contacts we enable solution providers and retail operators with the opportunity to engage globally with each other allowing us, as forecourttech, the ability to target other regions of the World. Our expertise of staging conference and meetings programs and, adding to that the experience of 24/7 online global engagements that Dan and his team have driven and developed over the years, brings a unique dimension to the opportunities we can collectively create. This media partnership excites me and I expect it to bring immediate benefits in the lead up to forecourttech ’23 which will be held on 17-18 October at the Asia Gardens Hotel, Alicante, Spain.”
Christian Warning, Owner at The Retail Marketeers and SAB Events/GCSF Board Advisor:
“I’m a big believer in the global opportunity for this brand partnership. We’re very strong in our European core and of course this includes the Hamburg Convenience Leaders Exchange I organise under the NACS brand. But the bigger picture is a global opportunity to combine online and offline engagement and this is just the kind of consolidation the industry needs and will in my opinion value very highly. Helped by myself, the global connections which Stephen, Dan and I can bring are pretty persuasive and exciting.”
