    Absolutely! Hotel and airfare are the responsibility of the Honoree/Honoree's company. Visit our Venue & Travel Page to find hotel info now.
     
  • When will I receive my GenNext Award? 
    You will be receiving your award during the GenNext Awards Luncheon. 
     
  • Do I need to purchase my GenNext Award?  
    No, we are pleased to provide each winner with a complimentary keepsake award from Progressive Grocer. If you are contacted by a third-party vendor to purchase an award, immediately decline. External vendors are not affiliated with Progressive Grocery, and are not authorized to solicit honorees to purchase awards.
     
  • As a winner, do I need to purchase a ticket to the Symposium? What about my guest(s)? 
    The Symposium and Awards Luncheon is complimentary for our honorees. There is a fee for guests to attend the event and you will receive a code to register them along with your own code. 
     
  • Is there a dress code for the GenNext Symposium?  
    The dress code is business casual. Keep in mind the hotel ballrooms tend to be on the cool side, so it may be best to bring a light jacket or sweater to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible during the program, so you can enjoy all the wonderful speakers we have planned.
