Plma Show Preview
PLMA’s 2015 trade show expected to be largest ever
The show will feature more than 2,700 exhibit booths.
The Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA), New York, said it expects its 35th annual trade show, scheduled to take place Nov. 15–17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill, to be the biggest and best-attended event in the event’s history. The 2015 trade show, themed “Store Brands and Beyond,” is expected to surpass last year’s record show for size and attendance by presenting more than 2,700 exhibit booths that will occupy all of the available exhibit space at the convention center.
This year, PLMA said it will spotlight store brands in the deli, dairy and bakery department. By spotlighting these categories, PLMA hopes to encourage retailers to expand their store brand offerings in these areas and become more innovative in assortment and product concepts.
During the trade show, attendees also will have the opportunity to attend a variety of informative sessions, PLMA said. On Sunday afternoon, Jim Wisner, president of Wisner Marketing Group, Libertyville, Ill, will moderate a panel discussion themed “Store Brands and Digital Retailing.” Retailers, manufacturers and digital experts will discuss how retailers’ store brands will have to adapt to compete for the attention of connected consumers.
PLMA will also provide attendees with two special sessions on Sunday afternoon. One will highlight store brand opportunities in the deli, dairy and bakery, while the other will examine the role of the private label broker both today and in the near future. Both sessions will be moderated discussions, PLMA said.
During Monday’s Keynote Breakfast, Dan Schulman, president and CEO of PayPal, San Jose, Calif, will examine how a fast-approaching revolution in customer payments will impact retailers, consumers and marketers. Tuesday’s PLMA Live! Breakfast, meanwhile, will feature Howard Saunders, retail futurist and president of Twenty Second & Fifth. Saunders will discuss what lies beyond the customer experience of today, PLMA added.
Among the more than 4,500 visitors who attend the event each year are representatives of leading U.S. supermarkets, drug chains, mass merchandisers, wholesale clubs, convenience stores and specialty retailers, PLMA said. Wholesalers, brokers, importers and others will be present as well.
For information about attending or exhibiting at the show, contact PLMA at 212-983-1382 or [email protected].
