Drug Store News once again hosts annual Industry Issues Summit, Diabetes Roundtable
NEW YORK Drug Store News is presenting in November in New York its 12th annual Industry Issues Summit and eighth annual Diabetes Roundtable -- a must-attend event that attracts leading industry players and will feature a special celebrity speaker.
This year's Industry Issues Summit will be held Nov. 30 at the New York Athletic Club, which is located just a stone's throw away from Central Park. Over the years, the Industry Issues Summit has become a critical industry event, and this year's gathering will prove to be especially important in light of healthcare reform, the economy and its impact on consumer shopping behavior, and retail pharmacies increasingly taking a proactive role on the frontlines of U.S. health care.
Larry Kudlow, host of CNBC's "The Kudlow Report," will be the keynote speaker. Kudlow, who for many years served as chief economist for a number of Wall Street firms, will be presenting "Never Sell America Short: Free-Market Capitalism and the American Economy." Kudlow is a nationally syndicated columnist and also hosts his own blog. He is a contributing editor of National Review magazine, as well as a columnist and economics editor for National Review Online. He is the author of "American Abundance: The New Economic and Moral Prosperity," published by Forbes in January 1998. He also serves as CEO of Kudlow & Co., an economic research firm.
"This one-day event will provide unprecedented access to a multiple list of leading-edge retailers from many formats that will enable sponsors a unique opportunity to share in the dialogue about retailer-supplier best practices, alignment strategies and industry growth opportunities. Drug Store News is also pleased to make our Industry Issues Summit and Diabetes Roundtable an annual event that is held every year during 'NACDS Week' in New York City, which times nicely with several key committee meetings and highlights with the NACDS Foundation Dinner," said Wayne Bennett, publisher of The Drug Store News Group.
Retail panelists for this year's Issues Summit will include top executives from H-E-B, Costco, Max-Wellness, Rite Aid, Wegmans, Ulta Beauty, Walgreens, Sam's Club and Ace Hardware.
Retail panelists for the Diabetes Roundtable include top executives from McKesson's Health Mart, Wegmans, H-E-B, Giant Eagle, AmerisourceBergen, Rite Aid, Kerr Drug and Cardinal Health.
