Last year's event sold out early. We encourage you to register and book your hotel as soon as possible (hotel rooms at the discounted rate are limited). In order to receive your award onsite at the GenNext Ceremony, you must register for the event by Oct. 1, 2025. You are able to register to attend the event through Nov. 1, if space allows but may receive your award in the mail.

Of course! Please check your email for the code to use to register your guests.

If you are attending Grocery Impact (We hope you can!), you will receive the award on stage during the GenNext Awards Ceremony on November 6, 2025. If you are unable to attend the event in person, we will mail you your award. Awards will be mailed out in November 2025. 

No, Progressive Grocer is pleased to provide each winner with a complimentary (and beautiful!) keepsake award.

If you are contacted by a third-party vendor to purchase an award, please immediately decline. External vendors are not affiliated with Progressive Grocer and are not authorized to solicit honorees to purchase awards.

Nominations for the 2026 GenNext Awards will open in January 2026. Sign up for Progressive Grocer's newsletter to stay informed when nominations open.

We love pets, however only licensed service animals are welcome inside the Grocery Impact event area.

The Hyatt Grand Cypress welcomes pets and their nature trails make an amazing place to walk them. Please visit their website to learn additional details and applicable fees.
