The NACS Show is the #1 buying event in America and is THE place to find the most innovative, profit-building products and services in top categories. This year, you'll be able to explore some 1,200 exhibitors on the expo floor, including over 20 percent that are brand new to NACS.
Easily locate the exact products you need for your business. The expo floor, is conveniently divided into five major shopping areas to ensure that buyers can easily connect with suppliers:
- Facility Development & Store Operations
- Food Equipment & Foodservice
- Merchandise, Candy & Snacks
- NACS/PEI Petroleum Equipment & Services
- Technology
It's so easy to access some of the most exciting products in the world.
Within each major expo floor segment, a smaller area is specifically designated for first-time exhibitors. More than 300 exhibitors make their NACS Show debut each year. These companies often have new products just entering the convenience channel.
75% of all attendees plan to buy one or more of the products or services they discovered at the NACS Show last year. Follow-up research indicates that actual purchases 6-9 months after the event are even higher than what was planned.
On average, retailers spend 10.0 hours on the expo floor seeing new products and services. The average for all other trade shows is 8.5 hours. (Source: Exhibit Surveys, Inc. 2009)
