There is no gamble involved in securing a spot to exhibit your latest wares, products and services at the School Nutrition Asso-ciation’s 72nd Annual National Conference (ANC).
Getting your customer’s undivided attention can be a rarity. At the largest annual gathering of foodservice supervisors, directors, manag-ers and employees, here is your chance to make a sure bet to increase your company’s visibility among more than 3,500 decision-makers! Seize new business avenues and opportunities, and identify and meet new potential buyers of supplies. You can help attendees of the confer-ence on their journey to see all the new products and services offered to them, and to assist them achieve their goal of serving their students with the best and most nutritious meals possible. There is never a dull moment in Las Vegas and there is no shortage of excitement and anticipation among attendees at the ANC Exhibit Hall. Nicole James, director of Butts County (Ga) School District speaks for many attendees when she said, “I love going to the Exhibit Hall, it is one of my favorite parts of ANC.” Or Michelle Coker MA, RD, LD, SNS, director of Child Nutrition at Fayette County Public Schools in Lexing-ton, Kentucky who added, “The Exhibit Hall is just amazing; there is just so much there, and every day there are new things to see, which we can take home and integrate into our program to make serving our students better.” In a city that once played host to top-line entertainers Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Don Rickles, you will get a chance to shine every time, with the over 200,000-square feet of space and 800 plus booths that we have to offer! It’s a win-win situation, while over the course of three engaging days, you’ll talk with decision-makers who can’t wait to meet you and hear what you have to say.
