The National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) is launching a retail innovation leadership program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the support of software provider PDI.

The educational program will take place Nov. 3-8 at MIT's Sloan School of Management. It is the first NACS program at the school and was developed via the association's partnership with PDI, Shell and Gilbarco Veeder-Root, according to a press release.

"We're proud to support this new program that embodies our commitment to building lasting relationships and helping nurture the industry's next generation of innovators and visionary thinkers," said Jimmy Frangis, PDI CEO, in the release.

The program combines research-based management frameworks with hands-on experiences and the curriculum will cover operating models, supply chain, customer experience, people engagement and culture change.
