The TopSource 2010 Summit is the must attend networking event of the year for Topco members and suppliers. More than 300 companies are invited to attend the 3 day summit which will feature the 2010 Supplier Showcase - the largest not-for-resale trade show in the industry. The most popular feature of the last summit will be repeated: One-On-Ones, pre-scheduled face to face business meetings on the day of the showcase.

Quotes from the '08 Summit:

Suppliers said: It was valuable to our organization to be able to meet with many key decision makers in different companies in one day . . . the summit generated a significant amount of new business . . . we saved thousands in travel expenses because we were able to meet with many companies in one location at the same time.

Retailers stated: This was the most valuable time I spent during the year . . . a great way to do a lot of business in a short time . . . the one-on-ones were the best feature of the Summit. Retailers, Topco members and suppliers are asked to mark their calendars and put the event in their budget.

Members speak

“When you aggregate our spend with that of other members, it leverages us to a better buying position. We saved over six figures on one initiative alone and over seven figures in one year working with TopSource. Being able to save that kind of money that goes straight to the bottom line is very rewarding.”
- Drew Hembree, NFR Coordinator,Food City

“We are always looking for ways to lower our NFR goods and service expenses. The TopSource approach has been far and away our most successful option.”
- Alan Barrick- VP, Engineering & Manufacturing, Weis Markets

“We are delighted with the outcome of this new utilities program offered by TopSource. To see such significant savings the first time around is very exciting, and we look forward to the impact this program can have as more companies take advantage of it.”
- Michael Molina, United Supermarkets
