The Annual Buying Event is the opportunity for our consumer exhibitors to sell their products during ThoughtSpot.
 
For consumer products companies participating in ThoughtSpot, once your contract is approved, you should visit your Annual Buying Event page in the Cencora Supplier Portal to add your items.  All over-the-counter (OTC) items you plan to sell during the show must be submitted and approved in order for them to be sold at ThoughtSpot. There is no additional fee to submit your items.
 
Over 125 suppliers typically participate in the Annual Buying Event, offering 3,500+ items from 30 OTC categories at an average discount of 14%. Item submission for the Event runs from March 1 to May 31.   Items must be submitted by May 31 to be included in the product lists we share with our customers.  Only OTC items are allowed in the Event. The Event will run online from July 1 through July 31, and on the exhibit show floor during ThoughtSpot.  Customers will be able to order through the ABC Order website or the ABC Order app.  Orders are submitted to suppliers from August 1-15, and the items are expected to ship to our distribution centers by September 1.  This is our biggest sales event of the year, and we encourage you to offer your best discount.  A complete list of items on promotion will be included online in July Retail Remedy magazine and on the Consumer Products page of ABC Order.
