The North Carolina Vending Association, founded in 1955, is the oldest independent vending association in the country. In that year, it was one of two trade organizations that launched the Carolinas Vending Convention. That event grew into the Atlantic Coast Exposition, which has been held annually for more than six decades.

Don't Miss Our Keynote with Phil Gwoke Friday at 3pm!
"When Generations Connect: Navigating Generational Dynamics"

Four distinct generations collaborate side by side, each bringing a unique set of attitudes, values, and work styles to the table. Strengthening your team requires a deep understanding of these inherent generational dynamics. Identifying what motivates each generation and how they communicate is crucial for breaking down barriers and harnessing collective strengths.  Unlocking the power and perspective of each generation fosters an environment where everyone feels empowered, valued, and understood. But do you have the tools to transform this  diversity from a challenge into an opportunity?  This session delves into the identity of each generation, explores the reasons behind their differences, dispels stereotypes that may cloud judgement, and provides actionable solutions to effectively engage every generation.
