NGA to Expand Show Floor and Pavilions
January 1, 2018
The National Grocers Association (NGA) is pleased to announce the expansion of the EXPO floor at the 2014 NGA Show, to be held February 9-12, 2014 at the Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Based on the success of the 2013 Show, which saw record attendance and a sold out exhibit hall, the 2014 NGA Show will have even more space allowing for expanded and new pavilions that showcase innovations and products specifically targeted to grocers. With nearly 80 percent of the exhibit hall sold out, floor sales have already exceeded last year's total. The NGA EXPO floor will be 44% larger than in 2013, and will include pavilions in areas such as produce, meat, health, beauty, wellness & general merchandise products, and technology. Confirmed pavilion partners include:
Returning for its third year, the Produce Marketing Association (PMA) Produce Pavilion has once again increased its real estate on the EXPO floor and will bring 3,600 square feet of fresh produce suppliers directly to retailers at the 2014 NGA Show.
Thanks to the success of the North American Meat Association (NAMA) 2013 MEATXPO, which was held in conjunction with the 2013 NGA Show, NAMA has decided to host the first-ever Meat Pavilion at the 2014 Show. The Pavilion will feature more than 2,400 square of meat supplier companies and products.
For the first time, the Global Market Development Center (GMDC) will bring a 3,000 square foot pavilion of general merchandise, health, wellness, and beauty care products to the 2014 NGA Show.
NGA's technology partners, the Center for Advancing Retail Technology (CART) and Personiphi, is returning with a 3,200 square foot pavilion and will showcase even more technological innovations and solutions from a variety of companies designed to streamline retail workflow and efficiency.
"We are excited about the wide variety of products and services on the Show floor in 2014," said Peter J. Larkin, President & CEO, NGA. "The value proposition and return on investment for Show attendees increases every year, demonstrating our commitment to the industry by providing real solutions for independent retailers." The EXPO floor is just part of the NGA Show experience, which also features over 30 educational sessions and special events. The NGA Show is truly the place "where independents gather" and where independent grocers, wholesalers, and suppliers join together to address industry issues and make connections that improve their bottom lines.
