CCA Global Partners Retail Group kicks off its summer convention “The Future Of Next” today the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee. 

The convention officially begins with a general session on August 8 at 5 p.m. with a special tribute to retiring co-CEO Howard Brodsky to highlight the evening’s program. Brodsky co-founded CCA Global Partners with Alan Greenberg in 1984 and has led the company to groundbreaking heights and global recognition.

“The Future of Next” convention content is designed to reflect the seismic shift that redefined retail over the last couple years, accelerated by 2020’s unprecedented global pandemic. The way consumers shop changed and continues to evolve – and group says the summer convention will reveal to members how CCA Global Partners Retail Group is keeping up momentum and placing them at the forefront of retail moving into the future.  

Following on the heels of last summer’s format unifying retail brands Carpet One Floor & Home, Flooring America, Flooring Canada, The Floor Trader and International Design Guild (IDG), members will once again meet together. The convention will focus on the evolving customer experience and helping customers shop when, where, and how they want through digital technology, marketing, and the in-store experience. 

A robust roster of events and speakers including keynoter Kevin O’Leary from NBC’s Shark Tank. To celebrate the spirit of the host city, the convention’s closing event is a CCA Global takeover of the legendary Grand Ole Opry music venue with live performances from longtime favorites and rising stars on the country music scene. 

The summer 2022 agenda will also give attendees ample opportunities to connect, network and share best flooring industry business practices, inspiration and ideas.
