About CAMEX:

CAMEX has a long history of being the collegiate retailing industry's meeting place. For more than 80 years, volunteers and staff of the National Association of College Stores (NACS) have worked together to create and grow this premier industry event. Today CAMEX is the industry's largest trade show and educational event attracting attendees from more than 1,100 college stores and more than 700 exhibiting companies.

The Industry and NACS:

College stores are a strong, dynamic, and growing segment of U.S. retail earning $10 billion during the 2004-2005 academic year. NACS is the professional trade association that serves as the industry's leading resource and advocate. NACS ensures the health and vitality of higher education retailers through education and research, the provision of critical programs and services, and the development of strategic partnerships that enable members to better serve their customers.

The Educational Program:

CAMEX offers comprehensive educational programming that addresses six industry competency areas: college store operations; course materials and intellectual property; marketing and campus relations; motivating, empowering, and leading; retailing and merchandising; and business stewardship. This competency-based model ensures that sessions focus on the knowledge, skills, and practices critical to a successful collegiate retailing career. From experienced professionals to newcomers in collegiate retailing, CAMEX provides professional development opportunities at every experience level.

The Trade Show:

From apparel to pencils, candy to temporary tattoos, the CAMEX trade show features items in more than 90 product categories targeted to the college student consumer. A lot of business is conducted during the three-day show—more than 92% of CAMEX 2008 attendees took advantage of vendors' trade show specials.
