Progressive Grocer Events
Progressive Grocer is bringing innovation to the food and consumables industry this fall with the introduction of Grocery Industry Week. This first-of-its-kind event platform is consistent with Progressive Grocer’s “ahead of what’s next” philosophy and initially will include four events focused on the industry’s areas of greatest need.
Grocery Industry Week will be held Nov. 1-4 at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Fla., and includes the following:

The Impact Award program: This is the first-of-its-kind initiative that will showcase the positive impact retailers, suppliers and solution providers are having with environmental, social and governance efforts. Progressive Grocer's aim is to amplify the accomplishments of retail industry leaders, highlight innovative approaches and inspire the industry to further to greatness by “honoring exceptionalism" across 9 categories.
