Vision Group Network

The Vision Group Network (VGN) brings together, in virtual group meetings, great minds and leaders from all parts of the retail and foodservice industries to create a knowledge base consisting of experience and innovative ideas. The mixture of perspectives, real world experiences, and collaboration during VGN meetings provides valuable insights and actionable programs that allow its members to maximize their business opportunities. VGN's mission is to be an open information resource motivated by the premise that "a rising tide raises all boats". Founders Myra Kressner, Eva Strasburger, and Roy Strasburger created the original The Vision Group (TVG) to anticipate industry disruptions and share strategies with members. In order to delve deeply into the common issues facing retailers, The Vision Group was followed by Convenience Leaders Vision Group (CLVG) and Convenience Technology Vision Group (CTVG). The Vision Group Network will introduce new Vision Groups every 9-12 months. Ideas and perspectives from Vision Group meetings will be available to everyone through a series of Vision Reports, intended to help retailers, suppliers and industry affiliates understand current challenges, solutions, and opportunities, regardless of the size of their business.
