1) ADCAQ Convenience Education Program 2026
Date: May 22, 2026 (Fri) · Time: 9:00 AM – 1:30 PM
Location: Montréal — Proposed venue: Centre Mont-Royal
What members will like & expect
Members will walk away with practical, ready-to-use ideas—not theory. Sessions are designed for busy owner-operators: quick, high-impact topics like inventory routines, pricing habits, shrink basics, and “quick-meal” merchandising that can be applied the next day in-store.
Expect a strong networking component as well. You’ll meet other dépanneur owners facing the same challenges, share what’s working, and connect with trusted solution providers through short, focused Q&A and mini-clinics.
2) Québec Depanneur Product Showcase
Date: September 2026 (2 days)
Location: Montréal — Proposed venue: Palais des congrès de Montréal
What members will like & expect
This event is built for one thing: helping members find products worth testing—faster and with less risk. Instead of guessing, owners can compare new items side-by-side, evaluate pricing and packaging, and discover what’s trending in convenience retail (snacks, beverages, quick meals, and seasonal winners).
Members can also expect practical buying conversations with distributors and suppliers: MOQs, lead times, promo support, and merchandising help—so you can decide what’s realistic for your store and your customers before committing to larger orders.
3) Security & Shrink Control Expo
Date: November 2026 (Half-day)
Location: Montréal — Proposed venue: Hotel Bonaventure Montréal (meeting level)
What members will like & expect
Shrink hits profit directly—so this expo focuses on realistic prevention, not complicated solutions. Members can expect actionable ideas that combine store layout, staff routines, and simple tools that reduce loss without slowing service or creating friction for customers.
You’ll also get a chance to identify your highest-risk areas and learn quick, repeatable checks you can use daily. The goal is clarity: what to prioritize first, what actually pays off, and how to protect your store while keeping the team safe.
4) Smart Operations & POS Innovation Day
Date: February 2027 (1 day)
Location: Montréal — Venue TBA
What members will like & expect
This day is for owner-operators who want smoother operations and better control: POS, payments, loyalty, reporting, and inventory workflows—explained through real demos, not jargon. Members can compare options, ask direct questions, and understand what features actually matter for a dépanneur environment.
Expect practical takeaways like promotion setups (bundles, deals, targeted offers), reporting basics that help spot issues early, and ways to reduce time spent on manual tasks—so you can run a tighter operation with less stress.
