PLMA Trade Show Sold Out

More than a month before the return of its Chicago trade show, the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA) said the event’s show floor is sold out.

Running from Nov. 13 to 15 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, PLMA’s event will host more than 1,300 exhibitors representing more than 2,200 exhibit booths. 

In an e-blast sent on Thursday, Oct. 6, PLMA officials said the trade show floor will be arranged in separate halls of the convention center. The South Hall will be devoted to health and beauty, OTC pharmaceuticals, household goods, kitchenware and general merchandise. Food, snacks, beverages, and refrigerated and frozen foods will be featured in the North, South and Sky Halls. 

Additionally, special areas will be dedicated to fast-growing categories, including plant-based, wine & spirits and CBD products. Country pavilions will also be available.

The show schedule also includes PLMA’s pre-show Executive Education program on Nov. 12 and 13; seminar presentations and the Opening Night reception, Nov.13; the keynote breakfast, Nov. 14; and a breakfast education session on Nov. 15.
