To bring new opportunities for National Alliance of Trade Merchants (NATM) members and partners to collaborate on plans for Black Friday and the holiday season, NATM has announced a date change for its annual vendor conference for 2024 will move from September to July 23-26. The conference will be held at the Omni Frisco Hotel at the Star, Frisco, Texas.
“Moving the Vendor Conference from September to July 23-26 allows NATM members and vendors more time to prepare for the 2024 holiday sales season,” said John Riddle, head of NATM in a statement. “Holding discussions early, allows members to better anticipate their fourth quarter inventory needs and determine how best to plan for on-hand and e-commerce volume so that customers will not be met with out-of-stock situations during prime shopping weeks and months.”
Historically held in Dallas, Texas in late September, NATM’s Vendor Conference brings together top-tier consumer durables retailers, C-suite principles in the industry, key vendors, buyers and OEM partners to network with one another, driving independent retail sales and shaping the future of the industry.
Furthering its 2023 Vendor Conference theme of “Together Towards Tomorrow,” NATM is introducing new data-driven strategies for members. The buying group recently launched a data analytics dashboard that helps members and vendors better execute their go-to-market strategies.
