The first day kicked off with an engaging lineup of educational sessions to help tackle relevant c-store issues from generational staffing to employee retention and leadership.

• Attracting Tomorrow’s Talent with Today’s Leader – Steve Bench
• Strategies for Employee Recruiting and Retention – Alisha Luper, Hannah Smith and Andrew Jorde
• Becoming a Person of Influence – Jason Hunt

That evening, Cenex owners and operators, exhibitors and CHS employees had the chance to connect, celebrate the Cenex brand and enjoy an astonishing performance by the talented magician and mentalist Ken Salaz.

Day two began with an impactful keynote from award-winning speaker Devin Henderson, who helped attendees take a break from their worries while breaking free from their perceived limits. During his keynote, they discovered practices for maintaining mental strength and resilience to realize their greatness.

Following the keynote, attendees hit the trade show floor and learned about cutting-edge products and services available to boost their business. Just outside the trade show floor, attendees also had the opportunity to visit the Cenex Connection Center to meet with Cenex product experts and the Cenex Shop Experience to see an assortment of Cenex branded apparel and take advantage of an exclusive discount.

Thank you to all the Cenex owners and operators who joined us! We hope you left CENEXPO with new connections, insights and knowledge to help you grow your business and hope you will join us again next year.
