CCA Global Partners Retail Group Hits the Road with 2026 Summer Regional Meeting Series
May 4th 2026
Four cities. Hundreds of independent retailers. One mission: build stronger businesses together.
CCA Global Partners Retail Group is taking its most ambitious Regional Meeting series yet on the road this summer, bringing together independent retailers and co-op leadership across four marquee markets: Houston, Texas; Savannah, Georgia; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Anaheim, California — running May through June 2026.
Leaders from Carpet One Floor & Home, Flooring America, Flooring Canada, International Design Guild, and The Floor Trader Outlet will be on the ground in each city, alongside members for two days of high-impact strategy sessions, expert-led education, and the kind of candid, in-the-room conversations that move businesses forward.
Building on the energy of the co-op’s annual convention, the Summer Regional Meetings go deeper — trading convention-center scale for localized, peer-to-peer engagement tailored to what’s actually happening in each region’s market.
What Attendees Can Expect
New to the 2026 agenda is a full Education Day, offering members access to targeted courses across multiple tracks — covering areas including claims, CRM platforms, lead conversion, profit strategy, and digital marketing. The expanded curriculum reflects the co-op’s commitment to meeting members where they are and equipping them with skills they can put to work immediately.
The main-stage agenda features The Vault — a series of focused sessions covering marketing, merchandising, and operations tactics to add margin and reduce expenses leading to increased net profit — alongside interactive coordinator panels on artificial intelligence adoption and lead generation strategy. A vendor fair with more than 25 preferred suppliers rounds out the program, giving members direct access to the products and partnerships that drive their businesses.
“Independent retailers win when they’re connected — to each other, to the right tools, and to a co-op that’s genuinely invested in their growth. These meetings exist because we believe the best ideas in our industry come from our members, and our job is to create the space where those ideas can spread.”
— Keith Spano, President, Carpet One Floor & Home
Beyond the meeting room, each stop in the series will feature networking events designed to bring members together in more informal, high-energy settings. In Houston, members will gather at Truck Yard Houston, known for its open-air atmosphere and eclectic charm, and at The Rustic Uptown — one of the city’s most celebrated live music and dining venues. These events extend the conversation beyond the day’s sessions, creating space for connection, collaboration, and community.
“What makes this co-op different isn’t any single program or resource — it’s the culture of members who show up for each other. Every time we get in a room together, retailers leave with something they couldn’t have gotten anywhere else. That’s what we’re building toward.”
— Steve Sieracki, President, Flooring America | Flooring Canada | International Design Guild | The Floor Trader Outlet
The Summer Regional Meetings underscore CCA Global Partners Retail Group’s ongoing commitment to delivering personalized support, actionable insights, and a collaborative network that helps independent retailers build resilient, future-ready businesses in every market they serve.
