The National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) hosted its 2016 NACS tradeshow Oct. 19-21 at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center. With a tradeshow floor encompassing approximately 410,000 square feet, the event featured more than 1,200 exhibiting companies showcasing thousands of new products.
This year’s tradeshow attracted 23,301 attendees, marking the third consecutive year of attendance that exceeded 23,000, the association says. Of those attendees, 8,228 were buyers and 2,134 were international attendees representing 67 countries, it says. Although the numbers are not the highest in NACS Show history, they are a record for when the event has taken place in Atlanta, it adds.
