Store-level managers or vendors without an existing wholesaler or retailer relationship would get less, as the focus is on leadership and the independent channel rather than operations.
Grocery executives at a leadership conference in a Chicago hotel usually wear business casual to business professional, such as blazers and slacks, with suits common at evening events. October in Chicago can be chilly and windy, so a coat or layers are useful.
