CONVENTIONS

A. SEASONAL PURPOSE Ace hosts two conventions each year, one in the spring with an emphasis on Trim-A-Tree and holiday products, and one in the fall with an emphasis on Lawn & Garden products. The timing of these conventions offers retailers ample time to prepare for the seasonal needs of the upcoming year.

B. OVERALL PURPOSE Conventions offer much more than a chance to get a jump start on seasonal needs. Areas such as Savings Showcase, New Arrivals, New Vendor Market and Discovery Edge provide opportunities for great deals as well as for staying abreast of new products and planograms. Year-round products are offered by over a thousand exhibitors, and Ace also hosts booths showcasing dozens of corporate services and programs. Speeches from Board members and corporate officers provide retailers with key information, and valuable training sessions help retailers and employees improve their business skills.
