Last year's event sold out early. We encourage you to register and book your hotel as soon as you receive our information about registration.

Of course! You'll receive a code to use to register your guests for the Top Women in Grocery Gala.

We know many of our attendees want to celebrate with their spouses, family members and friends; however, this event is appropriate for individuals age 21 or older. There are several reputable child care services available in the Orlando area. 

The Top Women in Grocery Gala takes place at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando on Friday, Nov. 6, during Grocery Impact. Activities begin with a Cocktail Reception at 6 p.m., with the Gala Dinner beginning at 7 p.m. and followed by our EPIC Hershey Dessert After Party.

Dress code is formal cocktail reception attire. While formal attire is not required, most attendees wear cocktail dresses, pantsuits and skirts, as well as gowns. The evening is all about celebrating you! Wear whatever you want to celebrate in during our amazing evening events! We will have photo ops on our "red carpet."

If you are attending the Top Women in Grocery Gala (We hope you can!), you will receive the award on stage during the gala dinner. If you are unable to attend the gala in person, we will mail your award directly to you in November 2026. 

Yes! If you do not register for the event, your award will be mailed to the address provided when you accepted the award.
