PLMA’s 2009 Private Label Trade Show is the only trade show devoted entirely to store brands. For almost 30 years, PLMA’s annual private label trade show has been the place where retailers and suppliers meet to build their private label business. It’s the industry’s event of the year.

With more than 2,000 exhibit booths, the show spans five halls of Chicago’s Rosemont Convention Center. Exhibitors come from more than 35 countries. Product categories include fresh, frozen and refrigerated foods, beverages, snacks, shelf-stable groceries and ingredients of all types. On the non-food side, there is household and kitchen, paper and plastics, health and beauty, GM and DIY. Everything today’s consumers want and it is all available under one roof at one show in one visit.

MORE THAN A TRADE SHOW But PLMA’s annual show is more than exhibitors on the show floor. Seminars and workshops give you insight into marketing and merchandising. PLMA’s Idea Supermarket presents more than 60 gondolas of products and packaging from retailers around the world. PLMA’s executive education program, developed in conjunction with St. Joseph’s University’s Center for Food Marketing offers 2 days of classes on the fundamentals of private label.

And, this year, PLMA is adding an entire show hall to innovation with exhibitors of software and technology, logistics, marketing services, packaging, design and graphics, product development and laboratory testing. PLMA’s annual show is perfect for networking and making contacts. If you are already in private label, then PLMA’s 2009 Trade Show can open new doors for you and your products. If you are not yet in private label, PLMA can launch your company skyward.
